It has been a few years since I last visited Playa Organo. It's a lovely beach but they all are and others don't require a hike through the woods or hiring a boat. That is going to change soon.
Cruising around on the new scooter, I learned that the whole area, including the scenic route from Playa Entrega all the way to the trailhead at Playa Cacaluta has had an incredible upgrade.
There is a concrete bicycle trail at a safe distance from the auto route, sometimes with guard rails to keep 2 wheelers protected on tight turns. Bus stops are in place. Soon these more distant beaches will be only an affordable bus ride away.
This will mean fewer days like this most recent visit where there was virtually no one there. Some people may not care for that but the truth is the beaches are for everyone and populated beaches are automatically safer than deserted ones.
Just compare now and then. Today the trailhead is well-marked with signs and safety reminders.
Even the trail itself is better kept, wider and tidier. This time there were no fallen trees to climb over, under or around.
For a while at least, there is still time to fantasize about enjoying your own private beach but don't waste time. Get out and play immediately.

hi--
I was looking around for volunteer opportunities in oaxaca and stumbled upon your blog. Really cool to see a foreigner doing so well in Mexico! I will be on the Oaxaca coast in a few weeks, and was wondering if you knew of any volunteer opportunities that would be good for travelers like me with english and some spanish skills. I saw your blog post about Victor and his students, does he still take volunteers? Any tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Elias Newman

Hi Elias, Just found your message. I know there are no end to opportunities around here. I assume you mean teaching positions. I'll ask around and get back to you soon.
