Xcalak, Mexico
Xcalak
is a tiny fishing hamlet surrounded by marshes and located on the southern
end of the Mayan Coast, known in Spanish as Costa
Maya. The town of Xcalak is older than the Quintana Roo state capital
of Chetumal, Mexico. It is approximately 120 miles by road, but only about
30 miles east by boat across the Bay of Chetumal from the capital.
Located at latitude 18 degrees, 10 minutes north, Xcalak is approximately 1,090 miles north of the equator. As with the fishing village of Mahahual, 30 miles to the north, the fishing, diving, and the Chinchorro Reef is spectacular.
A channel separates the village of Xcalak from Belize's Ambergris Cay. Once a Mayan fishing community, because of the decline in coconut production, Xcalak is now only one tenth of its population 50 years ago. From this southern most point on the Mexican Caribbean, one can hop a short boat ride south to Ambergris Cay in Belize.
The government of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, has constructed a new pier on the north end of town. The coral reef approximately 500 yards from shore, provides Xcalak with a natural harbor for yachtsmen traveling north or south on the Caribbean. Visitors will find stores to purchase canned goods, a few tropical bars, and seafood restaurants. There is a tiny Catholic Church, schools, and a small medical clinic for routine health needs.
A variety of types and sizes of affordable beachfront lots are available in the Xcalak area. Since listings and availability change weekly, please contact a salesperson for current information. With its deserted beaches, balmy breezes, and tropical vegetation, Xcalak is a place to really get away.
