Comata Cape

Punta Cometa projects into the Pacific on the coast of Oaxaca, west of the bays of Huatulco. Its rocky headland stands beside the beaches of Mazunte, where the wooded coastal hills descend to the sea. The projection is a conspicuous landmark along a shore of small bays and open beaches, exposed to the swell of the Pacific. Farther east the coast turns toward the broad Gulf of Tehuantepec.
