XPU-HÀ

Xpu-Há IS A LOVELY strech of beach on a small bay about 100 km/60 mi south of Cancún. The beach is accessed from Highway 370 in the Riviera Maya. At last count, there were five different turnoffs running from the highway to beach.

Most are cleary, if not spectacularly marked; the first appearing a few minutes after the resort community of Puerto Aventuras.

Pronounced ish-pooh-ha, the beach is rather impressive in the way Yucatán Peninsula beaches are. There's always something extra -a length of sparkling white sand isn't enough apparently.

Around the bay's northern point is the Xpu-Há Lagoon, and slightly inland from it, the stunning Xpu-Há cenote, a long, narrowish affair that snakes into the jungle for 500 meters. Its shape and size make it one of the Yucatán's most unusual cenotes.

It only takes about 15 minutes to walk from the beach to the lagoon, then another 10 minutes to walk inland from the lagoon to the cenote.

Xpu-Há harbors a few private homes, several groups of bungalows (rustic) for rent by the day, about two eateries, and at last cout two dive operations. The ceviche (fish in lemon) and fried fish are excellent and the rental rates are quite reasonable.
