One of the main beauties of Yucatan, without a doubt, is its beaches, destinations on the Gulf of Mexico that have nothing to envy to the Caribbean beaches, as their sand is also white, the sea is emerald-colored, and the atmosphere is full of peace and tranquility.
Today, we will tell you about the highlights of Progreso, the most important port in Yucatan, located just a few minutes away from the finest marina in the Mexican Southeast.
The port of Progreso was inaugurated on July 1, 1871*, and throughout the 20th century, it improved its infrastructure to become the most important tourist gateway in Yucatan and an open border for commercial exchange with the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.
This port is located just 30 minutes from Merida, the capital of the state, which has contributed to its recognition as the ideal destination for weekend relaxation and strolls along its picturesque boardwalk. It is a place filled with seaside restaurants and other family-friendly attractions.
An interesting fact is that as of 2023, the Progreso pier holds the Guinness World Record as the longest pier in the world (6.5 km in length). Additionally, its newly inaugurated Meteorite Museum, located precisely on its boardwalk, is undoubtedly a cultural attraction for both young and old.
Progreso is a perfect place to swim and relax or, alternatively, to enjoy adventure by participating in water sports. And the best part is that it is only 10 minutes away from Yucalpeten Resort Marina, the best marina in the Mexican Southeast and the perfect home to enjoy a great life by the sea.
Yucalpeten Resort Marina is an exclusive seaside community featuring a commercial village, boutique hotel, beach club, and a residential area with access to luxurious experiences: oceanfront cinema, motor-free natural pool, natural spa, firepit zone, and much more.
