The engine growls, sand sprays, and the coastline pulls into view as your buggy climbs out of a scrubby coral ridge toward Playa Macao. Heat radiates from the white sand, palms lean like stagehands, and inland the road gives way to dirt tracks threaded through coffee and cocoa plots.

Conservation
Stick to marked paths and avoid leaving trash; use reef-safe sunscreen at the beach and respect private farm properties to minimize impact.

Bring reef-safe sunscreen
Apply a high-SPF, reef-safe sunscreen before the beach and reapply after swimming; the sun is strong and reflective on sand and water.
Wear closed-toe shoes
Sturdy sneakers or hiking shoes protect feet on rough dirt roads, rocky cenote edges, and while boarding the buggy.
Keep a dry change of clothes
A small towel and dry clothes for the return ride make the beach and cenote stops comfortable.
Follow the guide’s safety briefing
Pay attention to the ATV orientation and stick to recommended speeds—mechanical support is available but preventable mistakes cost time.
Closed-toe hiking or trail shoes
Protects feet on dirt tracks, rocky cave edges, and during short walks.
