Travel Itinerary

Step off the 20-minute ferry, sip strong Yucatec coffee at the dock café, and rent a beach cruiser for the day—no cars, just sand streets and salty air.

Start a flat coastal trail that cuts through mangroves and sand flats—keep eyes peeled for roseate spoonbills and flamingos feeding in the shallows.

Arrive at the narrow sand spit where flocks of flamingos often gather; kick off your shoes and wade across the ankle-deep sandbar to a tiny deserted islet for panoramic views.

Cycle back to town for a charcoal-grilled lobster platter and icy agua de chaya under the palapa—local favorite since 1985.

Hop on a short shared boat to a hidden cenote ringed by jungle; plunge into crystal-clear freshwater that stays 24 °C year-round and spot turtles below the surface.

Pedal west to the island’s widest beach; string a hammock between palms, sip a coconut, and watch the sun melt into the Gulf while flamingos fly overhead.
