Xcalacoco, Punta Bete, part two.

The names, Frederico, Juanito's, Pancho's, Ricardo's, Punta Bete, Xcalacoco beach and other's have been applied to this strip through the years. Much has changed with time but some small business's still survive and families still live on their own land. Paradise Point has come and gone, The Fives have arrived, Ikal del Mar rents shade and beach from Juanito's, Negro's is there and new construction is marching forward. These photos are just a few of the many that I took during various stays there over the years.
