A fantastic view of Chacahua and a beautiful sunset. In a nutshell, that’s what you need to know about the viewpoint in Chacahua.
I came across the viewpoint quite randomly, because I initially came to Chacahua primarily for the beach. However, a larger group set off around sunset and when I asked them where they were going, they said <<to see the sunset>>. As the bioluminescence only happens after dark, I simply joined them and crossed over by boat to the other little island with the others. Then up a short and slightly steep path and voilà, you’re there.

The viewpoint consists of a platform and a lighthouse. And the view is… honestly really spectacular. On one side you look out over the open water, where the sun is slowly setting. On the other is the winding system of mangroves with large areas of water in between. Below, between the water areas and the beach, you can see a sea of mangroves and palm trees. It’s… really beautiful. And the sunset is one of the most special ones I’ve seen in entire Mexico. Truly and honestly one of those places you don’t forget. Especially not with this view – you can even see the haze settling over the canopy around Chacahua. It’s really fascinating.
Go or not? You’re missing out if you don’t do it during your time in Chacahua. Personally, I would have gone up there every evening if I had been in Chacahua for longer.
