Every evening people hike to this point to watch the sun set. It has aweso e views along the way and an awesome view once you get there. It's a 10 I Ute walk off the road. There are a number of lookout but the most popular is right at the end.

Tips for Punta Cometa
This is a really enjoyable FREE walk that is probably the top thing to do in Mazunte. Here are my thoughts based on our recent experience. * Although popular at sunset this is also nice to do in the morning, particularly when the weather is clear. It does get quite crowded at sunset. * It can be done either as a in-out track or a circuit. I would recommend the later. Just before the large entrance sign you will note a smaller sign on your right labelled ‘Sendero Coral De Piedra Ponite) - this is the return point for the circuit. I would start by veering left. Once you get to the most southern headland you will need to cross a small beach to a adjacent set of stairs. From here the path gets a little overgrown but is still obvious and can be followed back to that entrance sign that was visible on the right. * A highlight of going in the day is watching the locals (successfully) fish for longtom off the rocks. * I’d wear hiking shoes (Or similar) as it can be uneven in places. * Sunscreen, hat and water would obviously be helpful if going during the day. * You can walk here from anywhere in Mazunte and probably San Augustin (no need to taxi) * There are no bathroom facilities in the area. Overall definitely worth doing if in the area.
