Xcalak
If “remote” does not seem remote enough, try Xcalak! A small and peaceful fishing village on the southernmost tip of the Yucatan’s Costa Maya, Xcalak is separated from Belize’s Ambergris Cay by only a few miles of mangrove and the Boca Bacalar Chico River. Ideal for sport fishing, diving and snorkeling, Xcalak offers a range of accommodations including comfortable and secluded hotels and villas. The village lies within the Xcalak National Reef Park and the world’s second largest barrier reef lies less than half a mile (500 m) offshore. Strict environmental laws have been enacted to preserve the area and to ensure the development of ecologically friendly low impact tourism. Declared a National Biosphere Reserve, Banco Chinchorro is the Caribbean’s largest atoll reef and an excellent spot for diving and snorkeling. It can be reached by boat within 20 miles (32 kms) northeast off the coast of Xcalak.
