Location of Costa de Cocos

Costa de Cocos is in the small fishing village of Xcalak, Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Located 250 miles South Of Cancun, easily rent a car at the Airport, and follow these Directions.

Leaving the Cancun Airport you will be heading East and come to Highway 307, take the turn Right/South towards Playa del Carmen / Tulum. Highway 307  from Cancun to Playa del Carmen is a busy tourist area, traffic will decrease after Tulum.

 Continue South on Highway 307.  100 km/62 miles south of Tulum is Felipe Carrillo Puerto. The Pemex Gas Station in the center of town,  (Not the first gas station you see, the second one in the center of  town),  has the last ATM you will pass, 3000 peso max withdrawal, get gas.

  Continue South on 307 about another hour, then 3 km past the town of Limones (was) a well marked Left/East turn to Mahahual & Xcalak.

Please Note that due to Hurricane Dean many of the Highway Direction Signs are down.
The turn off to Mahahual & Xcalak  is the first Left/East turn, 3 km past the town of Limones. You will approach a large T intersection with a small store. The road is fairly straight and in great shape, but at 18 km there is a severe curve, (dangerous curve ahead, slow down sign is gone), please watch for this curve and slow down...then at 51 km there is a tope/speed bump in the road, and you really need to slow down for this.

A little after the large speed bump is the turn off  for Xcalak. You will see a large Costa de Cocos sign, turn Right/South...But if you need gas, the Pemex Gas Station in Mahahual is straight ahead 1/2 mile. You drive past the Xcalak turn-off and go straight ahead to buy gas, and then reverse back to the turn-off, and Turn Left/South to Xcalak. Follow the paved  'jungle road' south 60 km/38 miles. At the end of the road, you are at a T and a Stop Sign, go Left/East about 2 kilometers into Xcalak. As you enter the village drive slowly straight through to the ocean. Turn Left/North along the Beach Road, the ocean is on your right, continue north thru town past the lighthouse and town pier. Turn LEFT at the 2 story white building that is the Port Captain's Office, painted in large letters on the building, (if you miss that turn you'll come to a dead end in about 2 blocks, and have to go back), then turn at the next street RIGHT, you will then go over the small town bridge. Cocos is less than 1/2 mile North of the bridge. You will see our large sign, turn right and park.
The trip will take approximately  5 hours.
