The Mayan Coast is a magical place where you can get lost for days at a time. The transparent, turquoise waters are perfect for swimming and snorkeling. The coast has not suffered from the explosive growth of recent years. White, virgin beaches still abound and the incredible beauty of this little bit of paradise is as sound as ever.

Bird watchers will be delighted with the area, which is rich with fowl of various tropical species. Herons hang around sometimes, but other water and shore birds are routinely sighted. The waters are clear, calm and inviting.
