Just an hour from Bacalar you’ll find Mahahual, a very picturesque little town town. A small community that offers fishing, diving and snorkeling tours and -why not- a relaxed afternoon by the sea.
Walking the “Malecón” you’ll find several restaurants that offer sun-beds by the ocean where -clearly- menu’s star are fresh seafood and fish.
Mahahual, Xcalak or Banco Chinchorro are fantastic spots to immerse in the dense flora and fauna of the reef.
