We are so rich in quiet little beaches here in Huatulco. Here's another. Playa el Tejon is reached by the second side road past the marina on the way to Tangolunda. The first exit is for Esperanza and you won't mistake the two because that road is being blocked to traffic indefinitely while an expensive sub-division is slowly being made. The road to Tejon is only open during daylight hours, not that that stops anyone.
The big problem with people coming at night is the vandalism. Some people just don't appreciate natural beauty. It would even seem that they would vote against it in a referendum. Most street lights have been smashed. Above this defaced wall is a little parking lot/lookout point. It's usually covered in broken glass. The road continues a bit further on to another scenic ocean panorama lookout. Same deal. Broken glass everywhere.
Very little maintenance happens here. Maybe none at all. With no way of protecting against damages, it may not be considered worth the effort. The situation may not improve until some day someone starts building hotels or expensive homes like those in Arrocito. If everyone is still allowed to use the beach then, there will be private security and lots of people ready to sell you things.
The beach itself is rather nice. Pull over when the scene from the first picture comes into view and look for the trailhead. The first step is the trickiest. After that, it's smooth and gradual. Enjoy this beach while you can.
