Is there any good snorkeling around Xcalak Mexico? Does anyone have recent experience snorkeling there, or down to the Belize border? We spent a week in the area around 2012 and the snorkeling was spectacular. However, a lot of time (and development) has happened since… Thank you.
Hi, I was I Xcalak Mexico in April 2024 and have been there multiple times before. There was some bleaching last fall but snorkeling is still amazing. We saw many varieties of fish big and small. The best part is that you can go out right from the beach depending where you are staying. There is very little new development in the area, but there are a lot more fishermen.
Can you be more specific as to the Xcalak locations you snorkeled? I frequent the areas north of Mahahual.
Hi Nancy and Fred, north of the town of Xcalak has good snorkeling. There are multiple accommodations to stay at and snorkel from the beach. You’re too far north at Mahahual.
Thanks I would like to know also.
