La Crucecita, along with Tangolunda and Santa Cruz, comprise the resort area known as Huatulco, in the Mexican state of Oaxaca.[2] It is the community closest to the bays but it is only 4 km (2.5 mi) from Federal Highway 200. It has grown along with the development of tourism in the area.[3] The town is within the Santa María Huatulco municipality, which is part of the Pochutla District in the Costa Region of Oaxaca, Mexico.
