Telchac Puerto
 This
port town is located about 20 minutes from Uaymitun and 30 from
Progreso, making it just far enough away from the denser population
areas so that it maintains a special, slow, laid-back feeling.
Telchac Puerto has a lot of useful services including the five
star Reef Club, private beach homes for rent, stores that offer
groceries, vegetables and fruit, a bakery and several seafood restaurants,
a small market and clinic, pay phones (to be used with phone cards),
a tortilla place, a harbor that has a gas pump, a hardware store,
fried fish stands and more. There are no banks.
There is town plaza shaded by beautiful old trees and a park with
a children's play area. There are Mayan temples three miles inland
and a lighthouse on the small seaside promenade.
For breakfast, lunch and dinner there are good restaurants. For
a delicious seafood lunch don't miss Bella Mar restaurant, about
one mile east of the village. Their ceviches, fried fish, shrimp
cocktails, and fish filet are all superb.
During July and August, the main plaza is especially folkloric
as the fair is in town with booths offering foods, knick-knacks
and mechanical rides.
In Telchac Puerto there are family homes for rent during the winter
months (Sept-June). The Patron Saint of Telchac is San Diego de
Alcala and the festivities are in November.
To get to Telchac Puerto, go towards Progreso and go east when
you reach the beach. Or go to Motul, and head north to the beach
from there.
