What kind of 5 days do you want: single base or mini-roadtrip?
Stay in one base (La Punta/Rinconada) and do day trips, or split into two bases (Puerto + Mazunte). Choose by how much you want to drive.
Note
Ideal structure: 3 days main base + 2 days for close escapes. Fewer check-ins, more beach time.
Day 1 — arrival + base + sunset
Check in and walk the area to locate food and nearby beach.
Sunset at La Punta or Zicatela; light dinner.
Early rest to start strong.
Day 2 — beach + food + rest
Morning at a calm beach (Carrizalillo/Manzanillo).
Local lunch; short nap or coffee.
Free afternoon and dinner near your base.
Day 3 — coastal day trip (unhurried)
Leave with a full tank toward Mazunte/San Agustinillo.
Swim with green flags, eat calmly.
Return before dark.
Day 4 — soft day / improvisation
Use this day to repeat a favorite beach, take a surf lesson or visit a local market. Keep buffer for rest.
Day 5 — wrap-up + return
Short morning for light shopping and breakfast. Head back to airport or road with time to spare.
Heads up
Avoid night driving on the coast; curves, low light and possible animals. Plan to arrive with daylight.
Which vehicle makes sense for 5 days?
Jeep/SUV for gear and mixed routes; scooter only for short city hops. Check lights, tires and brakes before highway stretches.
Tip
Fuel up in the morning and pause every so often to rest and check weather.
