Xcacel Beach, Protected beach and park in Tulum, Mexico.
Xcacel Beach features pristine white sand, turquoise waters, and dense jungle vegetation that creates a natural sanctuary for marine wildlife and tropical flora.
The beach has served as a critical nesting site for loggerhead, green, and hawksbill sea turtles for centuries, leading to its designation as a protected wildlife sanctuary.
Local conservation programs engage volunteers in turtle protection efforts, fostering environmental awareness and connecting visitors with traditional Mexican ecological stewardship practices.
The park operates Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, requiring an entrance fee of approximately 97 MXN for international visitors.
The site combines ocean access with Cenote Xcacelito, a freshwater sinkhole surrounded by mangroves that was historically part of extensive underground cave systems.
