Booking.com

Playa Rio Lagartos (Yucatan) is located outside the Rio Lagartos settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.

The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the correct question is not how to get to Playa Rio Lagartos, but what mode of transport can be used to get to it, because this part of the coast is inaccessible by land. The beach can only be reached by water and you have to rent a boat to get there.

User reviews

"The beach at Río Lagarto is an exceptional destination for admiring the stunning natural wonders that abound in the area. With the option to enlist the services of knowledgeable boat guides, you can explore the most remarkable spots along the Ría. It's truly a remarkable experience that shouldn't be missed."

JULIAN ALEXANDER RODRIGUEZ GONZALEZ

"Unfortunately, the beach was inaccessible due to the presence of sargassum, but we managed to spend a brief moment there. Additionally, the aftermath of a hurricane left the beach in a state of disarray. It is my sincerest wish that this stunning location will be restored to its former glory in the near future."
