Chankanaab Park
Chankanaab is Mayan for “Small Ocean”, which refers to the crystal clear lagoon situated in the heart of the park. Surrounding the lagoon are lucious tropical gardens, trails, and activities to satisfy your thirst for adventure- and tequila!
The reefs at Chankanaab Park are perfect for snorkeling or diving, and there is no seaweed on shore guaranteed.
