Jewel of the Caribbean - Xcalak Mexico



In the south of the Yucatan Peninsula is Costa Maya with the town of  Mahahual and  about 50 or so km away, Xcalak. Both are gems, with Mahahual being larger with boutique hotels, many restaurants and services. Xcalak  is smaller and if you check on a map, it is actually at the end of a peninsula so it is south enough to be by location in Belize.

The main activities that attract tourists and visitors is the amazing clear waters for diving and snorkeling, great sport fishing in the mangroves and on the flats and bird watching is also becoming popular. There are kayak excursions to take you further away from civilization into this spectacular area.

Healthy, beautiful Caribbean Reef - Costa Maya Mexico - YouTube HD



The corals off Xcalak & Banco Chinchorro were beautiful! This is in the Costa Maya, Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Three-quarters of world's coral reefs in danger of dying owing to pollution, overfishing and climate change.

The reefs are dying and finding pristine snorkeling and diving sites is becoming a challenge, this video is filmed on the Costa Maya about 3 hours from the Riviera Maya of Mexico.
