The South Tankah shoreline features white sandy beaches and a calm and shallow bay that extends meters at sea, but swim a bit farther and you’ll hit the Mesoamerican Reef System. From May to December runs the turtle nesting season, and walk along one of these beaches at night and you just might encounter a mama turtle coming ashore to bury her eggs in the sand. The North Tankah shoreline is a tad rockier, but don’t let that deter you. Privacy and location is the name of the game in Tankah and some cheap and effective water shoes will have you in and out of the ocean with no effort at all.

Tankah Bay is also the famous site of the Manatí Cenote (sometimes called Casa Cenote or Tankah Cenote), a crystalline outdoor cenote perfect for snorkeling. An extensive mangrove system runs the length of Tankah Bay and its roots extend into the cenote. Manatee Cenote has also become a popular spot for divers to complete their open water certification. If you’re interested in diving, Tankah has two dive centers: Tankah Divers and Manatí Divers.

Flanked by Luxury Villas & Vacation Rentals, Tankah Bay offers privacy and an unfettered and peaceful experience.
