Located about 90 minutes from Merida, Santa Clara's colorful history dates back to the ancient Mayan civilizations that flourished in this region. Serving as sanctuaries, the coastal landscapes held a deep significance for the Maya. Through it past, Playa Santa Clara Yucatán beckoned traders and explorers that crossed through the Gulf of Mexico.
Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities that highlight the region's natural beauty and cultural richness. A very popular area for water activities such as exploring marine life and coral reefs with snorkeling, kitesurfing, paddleboarding, boat tours, and of course many traditional Yucatecan dishes.
As the Yucatán Coastal areas have been undergoing a transformation several projects are set for the Santa Clara port in the municipality of Dzidzantún.
These projects mark an extension of the ongoing real estate developments that began in Progreso and have now reached Santa Clara, attracting new national and international inhabitants.
