Location Overview / Where is Xcalak located?:
Xcalak (pronounced ISHKALAK) is located 250 miles, 4-5 hours, south of Cancun a the southern most tip of the Yucatan Peninsula. Xcalak is a palm-studded coastal region called Costa Maya. Xcalak is far south. Make sure you have enough gas to get there and back though there is a gas station in Felipe Carrillo Puerto - about half way there. You should fill up your tank each time you pass a gas station. Off the beaten track, but noted for its excellent scuba diving and fishing, Xcalak offers an alternative to the "tourists" and high rise hotels found in Cancun and Playa. Xcalak, with a current population of around 350 people, was the largest city in Quintana Roo until it was destroyed by a hurricane in 1955. It is not far to the border of Belize by boat.
