Playa Mahahual

A tu regreso del maravilloso lugar de Chacchoben tienes la disponibilidad de poder, disfrutar, conocer y relajarte en la paradisíaca playa de nuestro pequeño pueblo llamado "Mahahual". Este lugar que cobra vida cuando los cruceros arriban al puerto Costa Maya. Mahahual es de los mejores destinos de todo el Caribe Mexicano para practicar snorkel y buceo, ya que frente a sus costas se encuentra el arrecife Mesoamericano, que es la segunda barrera de coral mas larga del mundo. Las playas de Mahahual son de las mas extensas en el Caribe Mexicano, con interminables kilómetros de blanca arena, palmeras y un mar de tono azul turquesa con oleaje casi imperceptible por el arrecife llamado "banco chinchorro" que actúa como rompeolas. Sus aguas cálidas, son una invitación a pasearse todo el día nadando, recorrer el boulevard que esta lleno de tiendas para comprar souvenirs o simplemente relajarte y disfrutar los masajes frente al mar y probar los auténticos platillos de la gastronomía mexicana.
