THE MAYAN COAST
Costa Maya Miles and miles of powdery white sand line the coast from Majahual to Xcalak. This is the Costa Maya. Rustic bungalows and small hotels dot the shoreline around Majahual and Xcalak and offer a relaxing alternative for those who want nothing more than to gaze at the bewitching blues of the Caribbean Sea.

A chain of reefs, part of the Mesoamerican Reef System, the second longest in the world, shadows the Costa Maya and behind this massive natural barrier the sea is calm and the waves caress the shore.

The
reef is a living underwater seascape populated by myriad varieties of
coral which harbor pink conch, sponges, anemones, sea fans and around 500
species of fish including the grouper, angel fish and porkfish, not to
mention then rare sea turtles which nest on area beaches year after year.
To reach the Costa Maya take Highway 307 north form Chetumal or Bacalar to the village of Limones, then take the highway to Majahual.
Both Majahual and Xcalak further south are the departure points for sportfishing and fly fhising excursions, birdwatching and diving trips to nearby reefs and the Banco Chinchorro coral atoll. A ferry operates from Chetumal to Xcalak and both Majahual and Xcalak have airstrips.
