点评:Xcacel, for snorkeling, near Tulum
I’ve snorkeled at most of the places they say have good snorkeling from shore in the Riviera Maya. Most of them are greatly lacking in fish, and the fish there aren’t that interesting. Xcacel is the best of them all. I didn’t see anything unique, but there was a decent variety of fish. This place was at least worth going out.
I read that you should go early because they limit the number of people. We were at the gate at 10:00, when they are supposed to open. Someone opened the gate at 10:15. The entry fee was $7 USD each. We were the first ones to the beach. When we got out from our snorkel an hour later, there were like 12 people on the beach.
It was a short, well maintained, dirt road in to the parking lot. It was about 1/3 of a mile walk in from lot to the beach, down a narrow, jungle path. There were some mosquitoes, but we were not swarmed like many other places. The beach would be really pretty, with it’s white sand backed by greenery, but there is a lot of seaweed on the sand, and there is a lot of wood covering the green.
Supposed to snorkel on the left side, where there is protection from a barrier reef. Out by the reef, the current was strong and waves were breaking over the barrier reef. So if you are not a strong snorkeler, you might feel nervous. I read that the best snorkeling was along the barrier reef. There was the most coral there. The best fish were actually in shallower water around scattered coral heads, straight off the beach, where beach turns to rocks.
翻译:Xcacel,适合浮潜,位于图卢姆附近
我曾在里维埃拉玛雅大部分人们说的适合从岸上浮潜的地方浮潜过。大部分地方都缺少鱼,而且那里的鱼也没什么意思。Xcacel 是其中最好的。我没有看到什么特别的东西,但鱼的种类相当多。这个地方至少值得一去。
我读到你应该早点去,因为他们限制人数。我们 10:00 到达大门,那时他们应该开门。有人在 10:15 开了门。入场费是每人 7 美元。我们是第一批到达海滩的人。一个小时后,当我们从浮潜处出来时,海滩上大约有 12 个人。
通往停车场的路很短,维护良好,是一条土路。从停车场到海滩大约有 1/3 英里,沿着一条狭窄的丛林小路走。那里有一些蚊子,但我们没有像其他地方一样被蚊子围攻。海滩真的很漂亮,白色的沙滩背后是绿色植物,但沙滩上有很多海藻,绿色植物被很多木头覆盖着。
应该在左侧浮潜,那里有堡礁的保护。在礁石附近,水流很急,海浪拍打着堡礁。所以如果你不擅长浮潜,你可能会感到紧张。我读到最好的浮潜地点是沿着堡礁。那里的珊瑚最多。最好的鱼实际上是在海滩附近的浅水区,周围散落着珊瑚头,就在海滩旁边,那里的海滩变成了岩石。
