\"\"<\/a> The other campers from Mi left on Friday and headed South to near Xcalak where the gal has a little B & B using large tents, called Okotuil Beach Club<\/a>, it seems a little pricy for a tent.
\nFor those that have the time and don\u2019t mind the lack of hookups this place is great. It\u2019s 35 mi off the main highway down a perfectly smooth what they call a 4 lane road. When you see the Lighthouse make a right turn toward all the little hotels, then take the first left turn into a driveway of a construction site. It is also the only way to get into the campground. We had to wait while they moved a vehicle and stopped working in the middle of the driveway to get in here. The camp is right on the Malecon and next to the beach.
\nPeggy and I took a nice bike ride up and down the Malecon and over to the the little town to buy some vegetables and watch the\u00a0 Holland Am. Nieuw Amsterdam try to dock on a very windy day. It seemed to take hours to dock and we didn\u2019t see many tourists in town. There are no more cruise ships until Tuesday.\u00a0 \"\"<\/a>I\u2019m not sure how all the little shops and bars survive here, the Malecon is empty of tourists. On Friday night there were a few locals at the Blue Bay Beach Club which runs the campground. We heard them go home at 3 AM. I hope Saturday night is not too noisy.
\nWe are starting to really enjoy our stay here, it\u2019s very pretty setting, they have beach palapas to sit at and a place to tie up your hammock. We took a 12 mi bike ride heading south of the 1 mi Malecon. There are little places all along the bumpy road and a few places to camp. We saw 3 dive shops along the way.
\nIn town the dogs are all friendly and used to bicycles. But as we got out far away from town a few dogs chased us and intimidated Peggy, but they didn\u2019t snap at us.
\nSaturday afternoon I finally got my kayak down and paddled over to the cruise dock and did some surfing. The surfing was a little scary since the waves are breaking on a coral reef and some of the coral heads are above the water. Luckily I missed them all. They have nice cold showers and a toilet in a big Palapa for the campers. The place is brand new, so I hope he gets enough business to stay open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
