Mahahual Beach

Excellent

What can I say about this beach! It's in a state of purity and is a secluded beach to get lost and where you can forget it all and unwind. The crystal clear waters are blue and are protected by a the American continent's largest coral reef. It's a huge natural pool. You can swim to the reef and snorkel, or stroll along the long stretch of white sand collecting endless sponges, or just lie down, relax and enjoy the Caribbean sun and solitude. There are very few tourists so little infrastructure. Just a beach bar and a few chairs for rent near the lighthouse. Hopefully this will continue. It is a virgin beach with its pros and cons.

The beach stretches about 3 km along the coast of the tranquil village of Mahahual, which was badly damaged by Hurricane Dean in 2007. As part of the reconstruction of the town, a boardwalk has just been opened that runs parallel to this paradise beach.

Heaven!

Mahahual it´s by far my favorite beach in the world!! You are in front of an open sea, quiet, easy, just to be happy. 2 days a week you can get a packed place full of tourists coming from cruise ships, but the rest of the week, it´s all yours; just one or two families, mostly locals. Fresh seafood is not crazy expensive, there's cold beer, and wonderful views. I just love how I feel being there.

Paraíso Mahahual

Mahahual sin duda es la joya del caribe mexicano, es tan lejos como uno lo quiera ver, a 130 kms de Chetumal sobre una buena carretera recta en medio de la selva. Ahí no hay los grandes resorts, es más bien un pequeño pueblito donde algunos hoteles y restaurantes se alinean a lo largo de una pequeña avenida peatonal, en los cuales hay comida para todos los gustos y muchos de ellos tienen clubes de playa donde se puede pasar todo el día. Lo mejor su playa, en tonalidades azul con fondos que parecen verse a simple vista. Hay tours que te llevan un poco más adentro del mar para poder hacer buceo, sin embargo es también fácil tomar unas aletas, un snorkel y un visor y descubrir por tí mismo, los pequeños arrecifes que están formados a lo largo de la playa. Sin duda es mi playa favorita!!!!
Mahahual is undoubtedly the jewel of the Mexican Caribbean, is as far as one wants to see, 130 kms of Chetumal on a good road straight through the jungle. There no big resorts, it is rather a small town where some hotels and restaurants are lined up along a small pedestrian avenue, where there is food for all tastes and many of them have beach clubs where you can spend all day. Maybe its beach, in blue hues with funds that appear to be at first glance. There are tours that take you a little deeper into the sea to make diving, however it is also easy to take fins, a snorkel and a viewer and find out for yourself, small reefs that are formed along the beach. It is certainly my favorite beach !!!!

In the village of Mahahual, in the Riviera Maya

En el pueblo de Mahahual, en la Riviera Maya

Se trata de un paraíso casi nuevo, o al menos, poco invadido por las cadenas hoteleras. Esto la convierte en una playa ideal para aquellos que desean realmente desconectarse del mundo sin tener que sufrir en el intento. Los colores turquesas del mar se combinan con los mares verdes de selva que este poblado posee y juntos pintan un paisaje maravilloso que invita a la relajación. Los hoteles son pocos pero todos son muy “monos” o bonitos… Eso sí, tal vez no encuentres aquí un antro estilo “coco-bongo” (no recuerdo haber visto algo parecido). Pero puedes conformarte con pasarla bien con tus amigos en la playa admirando el cielo en la plena oscuridad de la noche. Por cierto: No olvides probar las famosas marquesitas, un postre típico de la región.
This is an almost new paradise, or at least little invaded by chains. This makes it ideal for those who want to really disconnect from the world without having to suffer in the attempt beach. The turquoise sea combine with jungle green seas of this town owns and together paint a wonderful landscape that invites relaxation. Hotels are few but all are very cute or pretty That s, maybe not here find a style nightclub coco-bongo (do not remember seeing something like that). But you can settle for a good time with friends at the beach admiring the sky in the dark of night. By the way: Do not forget to try the famous marquesitas, a typical dessert of the region.

The beautiful Mexican Caribbean

El bello Caribe Mexicano

Una playa fantástica, con calles sin pavimento y hoteles pequeños a precios accesibles. Situada muy cerca del espectacular Banco Chinchorro, es una oportunidad imperdible para los amantes del buceo. Pero la naturaleza no sólo esta ahí, lejos dentro del mar. Camina por la playa, camina dentro del mar y muy pronto verás esponjas, erizos, caballitos de mar, tortugas, mantarayas, estrellas de mar, la biodIversidad de este rinconcito es impresionante! Todo lo que sólo habías visto en tus libros de biología, pero a todo color y justo frente a ti! Si vas a pasar unos días en la Riviera Maya, escápate un poco de la modernidad y el comercio que la han venido a inundar en esta playa. Vale mucho la pena!
A fantstica beach, with unpaved streets and small hotels at affordable prices. Located near the spectacular Banco Chinchorro, he is an unmissable opportunity for diving enthusiasts. But nature not only this ah, far into the sea. Walk along the beach, walk into the sea and soon vers sponges, sea urchins, sea horses, turtles, stingrays, starfish, biodiversity of this corner is awesome! All I beans only seen in your books of biology, but in full color and right in front of you! If you are spending a few days in the Riviera Maya, escpate a bit of modernity and trade that have been flooding in this beach. Well worth!
