“Conejos” is a Spanish word, meaning “rabbit”. The bay was named as such for the shape of the bay itself, which when looked with a funny angle and one eye closed, sort of and kind of looks like a rabbit (not to be confused with the rabbit on the moon).
This is one of the most beautiful bays in Huatulco. The sand is colored orange and its very coarsed. Surprisingly the sand is very different from the rest of the bays. There is no road that leads you to the beach, however; you have to park your car outside, by the road, and walk a good 10 minutes, in between the natural habitat. There is of course a little pathway for you to hike through, but it’s steep a little bit down, and it’s not straigth. You cannot access it with a motorcycle, or bicycle, you have to walk. If you are used to hiking, then this walk should literally be easy for you, but if you have a medical impediment, then you should think twice.
I had a rental of course, which I left by the road. The crime here is almost non-existent, therefore I left the car by the road without a single worry. I walked down and encounterd one of the locals whom was walking back, I think he was gathering wood.

However, once I arrived, the scenery was just incredible. Completely natural, there is no electricity, and no commercial establishment. There are no vendors walking by selling food or drinks. It’s desolate, tranquil, and the water is clear turquoise blue. if you come here, the water is perfect for swimming and scuba diving!
This particular bay, however, because of the beauty of it’s water, has been set aside to be developed into a world wide tourist destination, just like Tangolunda Bay, with Grand Tourismo and 5 Star Hotels. What do you think about that? Don’t worry there are plenty of bays in the water…or so they say…is that what they say?
