    El Martin Pescador

    Walk to El Martin Pescador. The boat tours operate until 21:00, giving you plenty of time to position yourself near the water. This is the vantage point for the sunset.

    El Martin Pescador

    Watch the sun set toward the WSW. The golden light starts about 16:57, so you will have been there for the full transition from bright gold to twilight.

    Mowgli

    End the evening at Mowgli. It is the most expensive restaurant in town but serves fresh seafood and innovative Yucatecan dishes. It is open until 23:00, perfect for a post-sunset dinner.

Local tip

Mowgli is the most expensive restaurant in town, but also the best if you crave innovative, flavorful dishes. Book a table if you can.
