Xcacel-Xcacelito, Riviera Maya

A protected sea turtle nesting beach between Tulum and Xel-Há that remains undeveloped due to federal environmental protection, Xcacel-Xcacelito offers the finest snorkeling on the Riviera Maya at its cenote and reef system accessible without boat transfer. The combination of sea turtle conservation, cenote freshwater spring, and pristine coral reef makes it the most ecologically significant beach on the Caribbean coast.
