OUR GUIDE TO the weather in the Southern Pacific Coast
Landscapes here vary from white-sand surfer beaches and arid deserts to Mediterranean-style scrub and luxuriant forests. The golden beaches of the Pacific coast are hot, humid and sunny all year round, with rain falling June - September. The busy holiday period runs December - January and July - August. Huatulco hosts the Fiesta del Mar in April and in November there is traditional folk dancing for the Festival Costeño de la Danza in Puerto Escondido.
