General information
- Population (in 2000): 1,594
- Area code: 991
- Weather: Warm and Humid. Rain in summer (June–August). Cold fronts in winter (November–January).
Very quiet fishing village with many houses for rent. Low season is January to April, mostly tourists from North America occupy villas. During summer time which is high season, tourists escape the tremendous heat in Mérida in favor of the cooler coastal breeze. Prices for villas double in the summer. Many property opportunities. The beach which is part of the northern Yucatan peninsula faces northerly winds in the winter; as such the beachfront is mostly covered with white sand. Population is quite friendly.
A new marina/yacht club is now under construction in Telchac Puerto. The development will include a first-class marina, commercial and residential properties. Other residential developments are under construction both on the beach and within walking distance to the beach.
