Get around Mazunte
Mazunte is made up of the main road, bordered by a few restaurants, churches, and the soccer field and three dirt roads that all head to the beach. It is a very small, rustic village and very easy to navigate. In addition there is a road that shoots off of the first dirt road and winds up the hill to private homes and a few hill top palapas as well as the neighboring beach, Playa Manzanillo.
Mazunte is mainly a place where you can relax and enjoy the beach. Night life is almost non-existent and during day time, it's not nearly as noisy as neighboring Zipolite. Its main attraction, apart from the wonderful beach, is the Turtle Museum (National Mexican Turtle Center, also a turtle research center) and the Cosméticos Naturales de Mazunte workshop/shop that sells environment-friendly cosmetics.
Down the main road, there's a great Italian restaurant; their pizzas are particularly delicious.
You can't miss watching the sunset from Punta Cometa, which can be reached on foot.
Fisher Men offer guided boat travels around the beach for $10 USD. You can get close to the turtles this way, dolphins or whales if you're lucky.
There are collectivo taxis to Pochutla for around ten pesos, as well as outfitted pick ups that make the trip for less. Pochutla market day is a Monday, although you will find fresh fruits and vegetables on any day.
