Incase you can't pick up what song this is from, it's ala-la-la-la-long...We camped at Santa Fe, a simple little spot, with a bar and ablutions. The view is fantastic – facing the Caribbean Sea with pure white sand, our tent is shaded by coconut and other trees. To the left we can see the Mayan ruins at Tulum overlooking the Sea. To the right the white Sand continues for miles. This place isn’t crowded, it’s the closest campsite available close to the ruins on the beach.

We spent 3 nights there. It was so relaxing, so much fun. The locals who worked at Santa Fe were so nice, they even let us use the restaurants kitchen to cook our own food. We bought all our food and drinks in town at the supermarket. One day there was a special on rum & coke so we sat on the beach, read our books and watched the waves drinking Cuba Libre’s. Amazing…

That night we had a big party with them on the one night. We met a Chinese guy, Ding, who thought we were the craziest people! He’d never been camping and couldn’t fathom camping on the beach. He joined us for the big party and ended up sleeping in our tent because someone stole the seat to his bicycle and he couldn’t drive home! Haha. I guess he’s camped now…

We saw tons of lizards and a few Coati’s. They are so cute! They have long tails and are racoon-ish with long snouts. This place is great for relaxing, and chilling out. Our biggest 'worry' was the positioning of our tent - it faced the beach and the on-shore wind sent all the dusty sand right into our tent. Woke up with our legs completely covered in sand - it looked like the dune migrated into our tent. For about a week after we still had and EVERYWHERE!
