The ‘Punta Cometa’ viewpoint in Mazunte is located between two beaches and looks out over the ocean. So you really get to see something and the sunset is also really beautiful.
You can get there via a long path over sand and stones, for which it’s best to wear something sturdier than flip-flops or open sandals. You can also do it in flip-flops, but then you have to be a bit more careful where you step. Oh, and try not to go at lunchtime, because the sun really beats down in Mazunte. That means the sand and the stones are super hot and you won’t be able to sit down anywhere and the sun will be beating down on you pretty much the whole time because there are no shady spots. Of course, the walk to the lookout point is still well worth it. I would just start it in the afternoon.

On the way you will have several great views, see really incredible rock formations and lots of holes in the rocks themselves. At the viewpoint in front, you have a really great view of Playa Cometa, the stones and rocks as well as Playa Mazunte. The sunset is like the icing on the cake. Not as beautiful as in Puerto Escondido, but also really nice. And by the way, you have enough time to come back after the sun has disappeared over the horizon to have enough light for the journey home.
To go or not? I think that if you do the day trip to Mazunte, you should definitely take the viewpoint with you. It’s honestly the coolest thing about Mazunte. 😀
