Punta Mosquito

Long sandbar walk through shallow water, with birds and wide views off Holbox's north shore.

Punta Mosquito is Holbox at its most open: pale sand, ankle-deep water, and a horizon broken mostly by birds. The walk can feel wonderfully remote even though you are still on a popular island.

Go early, check tides, and respect any roped-off bird areas. The pleasure is in the slow approach along the shallows, not in rushing to a formal viewpoint.
