Huatulco - Shopping

One of a kind, or as familiar as home, Huatulco has something unique to offer…

Huatulco is not a true shopper's delight; it is a quieter and more traditional destination than cities such as Puerto Vallarta and Cancun. Most of the shopping in Huatulco is done in small shops and large public markets. You'll find local markets in Santa Cruz and Crucecita. 
In Santa Cruz, the best place for handicrafts is the Mercado de Artesanías in the Plaza de la Bahía where you'll find shops selling silver, souvenirs, pottery, clothing and other Mexican goods.

In La Crucecita and Tangolunda, shops such as Platería Malti, La Placita and El Arte Mexicano carry objets d'art and clothes.. If you have time to shop in only one store in La Crucecita, head to El Museo de los Artesanias to get an overview of Oaxacan handicrafts. In addition to selling handmade items, the shop has displays describing how the items are made, the history behind the process and biographies of some of the craftspeople.
