## Background
El Cuyo is a small fishing village on the Yucatán coast, located within the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve. Known for its laid-back vibe, kite surfing, and beautiful beaches, it remains less developed than Holbox or Tulum.
## Review
Beautiful and remote beach town in the far northeast side of the state of Yucatán, about a 3.5 hour drive from [[Mérida]]. With its white sand beaches, quaint little town, and day trips (some via ATV) to Las Coloradas and more, it's a great destination to relax for 2-3 days.
El Cuyo has several good lodging options including [[Casa Awakening, El Cuyo]].
