Review:
Xcalak Beach is one of the true treasures of the Costa Maya region. Many tourists don't actually know about the beaches in this area, but the locals love them, and one of the golden rules of making the most of any vacation is to pay attention to the locals and follow them to find the best areas and most exciting things to do.
At Costa Maya, locals rush to Xcalak Beach whenever they get some free time because the sands here are softer than anywhere else and the waters are astonishingly clear and warm. Diving and snorkeling are a lot of fun on these Costa Maya beaches, and if you're interested in reeling in a few fish rather than admiring them, fly fishing can be very rewarding at Xcalak Beach as well. Be sure to pack some protective footwear, however, as there are some rocky spots along the shore.
