Cenote Cocalitos
Balneario Cenote Cocalitos
A small private swimming spot on the lakeshore, where you can see stromatolites up close in the shallows. The swing over the water and the wooden boardwalk are popular photo spots.
Cocalitos sits on the lakeshore near the blue natural sinkhole south of the town. Its shallows are covered with stromatolites, making it the easiest place in Bacalar to observe this ancient form of life (please do not step on them). The spot has a swing over the water, hammocks and a wooden boardwalk, and you can swim and kayak. A small entrance fee (about 100 pesos) applies. Facilities are simple, so bring your own towel and drinking water.
