A Small Caribbean Island You Will Not Want To Miss

By Albert Jefferson


It is twenty-six miles of beauty and bliss, to hear many people describe it. It is Holbox Island they're raving about, right off the coast of the Yucatan. If exotic birds, sun, surf and gorgeous white sand beaches directly next to these Holbox Island accommodations sounds like a great time to you, then it's time for you to explore further. Let's examine just what all there is available for people like us that would definitely love some island bliss Mexico style.

While it is really not a large island like so many that people are familiar with, this is in fact a Caribbean island in its own right. You are certain to find that distinguishing blue sea of dreams within a short walk or ride of any Holbox Island lodging because the island is that small. It is possible to step right out straight into paradise each morning and catch a sunrise on the Caribbean that few people claim they are going to ever forget. A shallow lagoon will be where you will certainly spot flamingos and seabirds galore. Flying a kite on the beach is another way people like to have fun here. Fans of golf will surely love being able to enjoy that, too.

Fishing is the local industry and you'll be able to see them coming in with their catch, supplying you with a laid back look at exactly what life has been like in this part of the world for decades. Your Holbox Island hotels will certainly have easy transport to shopping and dining experiences that aren't nearly as crowded as a lot of the rest of the Yucatan is because this is a location less well known to guests so that is really a major advantage to you. Whether you want to travel around in a golf cart, the popular local means of travel, or maybe you would like to spend your day on the ocean in a yacht, you will most certainly have options. Fishing, observing the whale sharks as well as snorkeling are all possible here with ease. No matter what recreation you may want, it will be possible to find it easily enough.

However, do keep in mind that this island is not the typical tourist trap type of experience. Because mass tourism is not flocking here on the island, it is advisable to book your stay at Holbox hotels and other Yucatan peninsula vacation places such as Playa del Carmen boutique hotels well ahead of time. You have a few to choose from, but they won't provide the large complexes of rooms you would find in big city hotels. However, that is what makes this such a charming experience for vacationers.

You will certainly want to have fun here and that is the reason why many people choose this island over so many others. As we now have discovered you can find nature to watch, the sea to explore by boat or through swimming, and a number of other activities you will surely get quite a bit of enjoyment out of it.
