Holbox, originally a fishing village, is a growing spot for tourism. Still small and ¨tranquilo¨, there are not too many people, keeping it friendly and easy to see the same faces. We heard about the place from our friends in Tuluum. The wetlands, salt fields, & mangrove trees make it a huge habitat for all kinds of birds, including flamingos (and unfortunately mosquitos, sand flies, ticks, etc.). One of the most incredible features is the sandbar that stretches a full mile (parallel to the shore), making it possible to walk in knee deep water about a 150 feet out from the shore.
In the afternoons we have been meeting the fisherman at the shore and buying a kilo of fresh fish for 25 pesos (under $2.50). Needless to say, lots of ceviche.
