Labour Day Weekend 1

This is another favourite beach of mine in Mexico. I call it the turtle beach. It is a protected area and there is no tourist construction allowed. There is one building with washrooms and a study centre for those who study the sea turtles. This is the beach where we came last year to see the turtles lay their eggs. It is hard to believe our planet is in trouble when you are on this beach. Do you like our new beach umbrella and chair? Since there is nothing commercial, you must bring any chairs or food you want.

Here is Alfredo reading his morning newspaper. He will only stay in the shade unless he is swimming. Four or five more groups came to the beach while we were there. It is becoming much more popular. We stayed about three hours, ten in the morning until one in the afternoon. I swim, walk and relax in my chair!

This is the sign for the beach, along the highway. The name is Mayan, Xcacel, Xcacelito, Sanctuary of the Turtle Marina. At the bottom, it says ¨controlled access¨. When you get close to the beach, there is a gate and you must make a donation towards the turtle studies. We asked about seeing the turtles hatch this year and were told to watch the newspapers as it could be anytime in September. That would be something to see.
