The late-afternoon beach arrives soft and bright: surf hurries in, then pauses as if consulting the sand, currents nudging the newborns toward the water. Guides meet you at your hotel and the drive along the Pacific coast gives a first lesson in the landscape—rocky headlands, low mangrove pockets and the wide arc of Bahías de Huatulco.
