Punta Allen, Fishing village in Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Located at the end of Boca Paila Peninsula, Punta Allen extends across sandy streets with a small pier monitored by law enforcement personnel.
The settlement originated as a Mayan fishing community and gradually developed into an established village with a population reaching 469 inhabitants by 2010.
Local fishermen maintain traditional techniques for catching lobster, fish, and other seafood, contributing to the village's primary economic activities.
