Xcalak
★★★★☆
(223)
Located at the southern tip of Mexico’s Caribbean coast, Xcalak is one of the last truly untouched diving destinations in the region. Part of the Xcalak Reefs National Park and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, this remote area offers pristine coral formations, healthy marine life, and a peaceful environment!
Xcalak is known for its big animal encounters. Divers often see tarpon, manatees, eagle rays, nurse sharks, barracuda, and schools of jacks.
