Playa Xcacel
Xcacel's relatively undeveloped shore is part of a protected turtle-nesting setting. Visit for the coastal habitat and quiet beach atmosphere, while following the site's conservation rules.
Why go
Xcacel is a relatively undeveloped beach within a protected turtle-nesting setting. The attraction is the coastal habitat itself: a quieter stretch where the conservation role matters as much as the sand and sea. It suits visitors who want to see a less built-up part of the coast and are prepared to follow the site's rules to protect the nesting area.
