For
great snorkeling there's Dzul Ha
about 4 miles south of Villas Topaz and the new UVAs Beach Club that has a tour
with snorkeling and transparent kayaks is about a mile farther. All of these are
on the old
oceanfront road. At Dzul Ha and UVAs you can get something cold to
drink, there's a restaurant plus they offer snorkeling gear
for rent.
Chankanaab National Park is just
past UVAs Beach Club making it about 5 1/2 miles
south of Villas Topaz. Admission is $15 and this is the location for the Dolphin Discovery program.
There are also excellent beaches 8 miles to the south including the new Carlos N
Charlies Beach Club that still had free entry the last time we checked.
Once you've experienced those, check out the beautiful stretches of
white sand beach on the eastern side of the island. It's about a 10 mile
drive across the island to the other side. If you're planning to
spend the day at the beach, most areas do have refreshments available and many
have restaurants. If you prefer a nice quiet secluded beach without a
restaurant, Villas Topaz has 2 coolers and that you can pack up with
food and drink plus take along the 2 beach umbrellas and the canvas beach mats
with a back rest that we provide.
