La Crucecita along with Tangolunda and Santa Cruz Huatulco comprise the resort area known as Huatulco. Just west of the Huatulco International Airport, the road to Santa María Huatulco intersects the coastal highway. The town lies about seven miles north. This is the town from which the resort Huatulco got its name, and I should clarify that it is a separate town located miles away from Huatulco the resort. It is a small, pretty, and very clean town surrounded by the foothills of the Sierra Madre del Sur. Santa María Huatulco is the home of residents displaced by the development of the Huatulco resort










Huatulco is divided into four main districts:

Tangolunda is the area where the upscale resorts are located

Santa Cruz is a small town with the main marina and Santa Cruz beach

La Crucecita town just inland from the beach area that provides support services to the resort

Chahué is an area between Santa Cruz and Tangolunda



The Bays of Huatulco, (Bahías de Huatulco) are actually made up of a series of nine bays and numerous small coves stretching along 26 kilometers of jagged coastline, including 36 white sandy beaches. Generaly as you travel west from Santa Cruz the beaches are les developed.
