El Cuyo

El Cuyo is a small coastal town on the Gulf of Mexico in northern Yucatán. Often described as a fishing village, the town derives most of its income from tourism. It is a barrier island with the Lagoon Ria Lagartos on the inland side of the island. The town is a popular destination for kitesurfing, fishing, birdwatching and other aquatic activities and natural explorations.

    El Cuyo Lighthouse

    The view from the top of the lighthouse affords sweeping vistas of the ocean, the jungles, and the town itself. The lighthouse is generally closed and locked up tighter than the proverbial drum, but if you stop at the nearby Capitaneria office, you can ask to go up and they will generally lend you the key.
