Great snorkeling place.....get there early and rent a palapa. Lots of fish, warm water and a great place to spend three or four hours or the whole day.

Yal-ku Lagoon is where some cenotes run into the ocean. The water is usually very clear here, and the combination of the two types of waters creates a really neat effect. This is certainly a great place to visit, but there is NO need for a guide here. The food at the cafe is probably the worst we ate on our trip (absolutely no flavor).

This is an enclosed bay and you need to pay $10. to enter, but you can stay as long as you want and even reenter. No tides or waves and lots of fish. Great way to spend an hour or two.

We were very pleased to snorkel here this past Februrary. The price was only about $15USD each with rental. We went late in the day as the crowds subsided. They even reduced the price for us since we only had about an hour to snorkel. This is a great place to avoid ocean currents while snorkeling as it is a sheltered lagoon. There are plenty of fish to see and interesting rock formations. There are showers available, tables, palapas to rent and a couple of food and trinket vendors nearby. When you are done, I highly suggest dinner and/or a few drinks at La Buena Vida just down the street--well worth the stop. If you have kids, Yal-ku is a great learning place for snorkeling. Look for pictures to abe added soon. Have fun!
