Review:

A tropical paradise, Mahahual Beach is one of the best and most popular beaches in the Costa Maya region. The local village was once a sleepy fishing town but has grown into a premier tourist destination as the years have gone by, and once you visit for the first time, you'll see just why this little spot of Mexican coastline has become so popular. The beach runs for miles and miles, offering lots of space for a myriad of fun activities including sunbathing, snorkeling, swimming, and fishing.

It's a good beach for wildlife lovers as well, with lots of marine life found off the shore and sea turtles even coming up onto the sands at certain times of year. Various professionals and instructors can be found nearby offering guided tours and lessons too, so there really are a lot of options at Mahahual Beach, but you won't find too many eateries in the area, so it's a smart idea to pack your own food and drinks. If you would prefer to eat some local delicacies, head down to the seaside town of Malecon and stop off at one of the various seafood restaurants.
