One of the most beautiful beaches on Mexico’s Yucatan peninsula is Celestun. The gentle waves and warm weather year-round make it an excellent destination for anyone who is looking for a relaxing time at a seaside retreat that is not overrun with tourists. This fishing village is perfect for fans of surfcasting in the gorgeous emerald green Gulf of Mexico or collecting the pretty seashells that wash ashore. Wildlife enthusiasts will be amazed at the vast amount of opportunity to explore the biodiversity of this area. A good selection of modestly priced vacation rental properties will meet any visitor’s needs.
While many people come for some time in the sun, others think pink. They flock to Celestun to see its famous pink flamingos. Over 10,000 American flamingos make up the huge colony and call the shallow Ria Celestun lagoon home. A boat tour of Celestún Biosphere Reserve will bring the visitor close to the colony and also in touch with other wildlife that includes over 300 species of birds and many endangered sea turtles. One resident to watch out for is the Moreleti crocodile. Camera buffs should not try to get a close up of this critter.
For a casual and eco-conscious stay at a fine beach, a vacation rental home or villa in Celestun is a wise choice.
