Playa del Secreto
 Mexican
Caribbean Beach
The beach at Playa del Secreto is perfect for swimming with a gradual
slope into the ocean. You can swim or snorkel out a good distance
and the water will not be over your head. On windy days, the sea
is great fun for boogie boards and body surfing. On those ever so gorgeous
calm days, the ocean at Playa del Secreto is fabulous for snorkeling and
ocean kayaking. For those who know where to look, you can find lobster
under the rocky reef ledges on the north end of the beach. Snorkelers
can see many colorful fish on the reef, as well as the occasional octopus,
ray, crab, or even a sea turtle if you are lucky.
Playa del Secreto has been a favorite nesting ground for thousands of
years for the giant sea turtles, such as leatherbacks and tortuga blanca.
From May to October, 300 lb. sea turtles return to Playa del Secreto each
year to lay their eggs in the soft, warm sand. Every night, as many as
10 new nests can be found on the beach. You may sit in the sand next to
these wonderful turtles and watch as they lay their eggs and then walk
with them as they return to the sea. Some mornings you can see the tiny
hatchling turtles battle their way across the sand into the ocean. It
is an experience of a lifetime and does something for your heart and your
soul.
 Natural
Beauty
Other wildlife abounds on shore. In the natural surrounding jungle,
mangroves and cenotes, you may be fortunate to see fox, deer, crocodiles,
and wild boar. Jaguars have even been seen on rare occasions, and
sometimes you can hear their cries at night.
Bird watching is excellent at Playa del Secreto. Along with wild parrots,
hawks and flocks of pelicans flying in formation, you can see the tropical
pewee bird. This small avis has a sweet call. The kingfisher can
also be seen here, with a a long beak and a distinct blue-black color
with a white band around its neck and belly. Birders may even get
lucky and see the elusive black-necked stilt in the mangrove.
Private Community Near Cancun
 Playa
del Secreto means "Secret Beach" in Spanish, and a secret is
what this beautiful residential community remains. This is a private community
of homeowners, with under a dozen homes. The residents and property owners
of Playa del Secreto are committed to preserving Playa del Secreto as
a peaceful, tranquil, private location by controlling growth and development
of the beach. While large hotel and condo projects are springing
up along the coast, Playa del Secreto will hopefully remain as a beach
community of privately owned fine homes and villas.
