Xcacel Beach, Protected beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico
The white sand beach stretches along the Caribbean coast, featuring clear turquoise waters and natural vegetation bordering the shoreline.
This section of coastline has maintained its natural state since ancient times, serving as a crucial nesting ground for sea turtles through centuries.
Local communities actively participate in sea turtle conservation programs, monitoring nests and protecting hatchlings during their journey to the ocean.
The beach operates from 10 AM to 4 PM six days a week, with an entrance fee supporting conservation efforts and access to both beach and cenote.
X'cacel combines a Caribbean beach with a freshwater cenote, offering visitors the opportunity to experience two distinct swimming environments in one location.
