It may seem that you’ve run away to a far-off land, you’re only a hop, skip and jump into the nearest town. You’ll find there so many things to do and see. As you lay on the beach soaking up the rays, you won’t have to worry about crowds or vendors disrupting your daydreams. Chicxulub is definitely a unique beach location in the Yucatan to escape the everyday grind and recharge. Take a long walk along the shoreline, inhale the salty air and get sunkissed by the warm sun. The best part, the climate is temperate almost all year round at a comfortable 30°C or 86°F.

The Neighborhood:
This coastal area is said to be one of the most exclusive. You’ll feel like you’ve taken off to a faraway place without a care in the world! You’ll be surrounded by the tranquility that is hard to come by nowadays.
Chixculub gets its name from the crater that was discovered buried beneath the Yucatan Penninsula in the 1970s. It was created by an asteroid thought to be 10 kilometers in diameter (6.2 miles). Due to the crater’s impact, many natural cenotes were formed, and it’s a must-see while in the area. You’ll want to take a dip in the fresh, cool water, and you’ll come out a whole new person!
There is a public bus that passes about every hour if needed, and we recommend you venture out to one of the beautiful cenotes, relive the past at one of the Mayan ruins, and fill your belly to bliss at one of the regional restaurants.
