Balneario Ejidal de Bacalar
Balneario Ejidal / Municipal de Bacalar
The most affordable lakeside beach in town, with a wooden pier reaching into the clear blue water. Swim, rent a paddleboard, or grab a snack by the lake.
The public beach lies on the lakeshore south of the town center. It is the easiest place to get in the water for visitors without a lakefront hotel, and admission costs only a few dozen pesos. A wooden pier extends into the lake, the shallows are suitable for swimming, and there are changing rooms, restrooms, snack stalls, and paddleboard and kayak rentals. The lake bottom is soft mud, so be careful not to step on stromatolites near the shore. It is a good place to watch the sunset over the lake in the evening.
