Telchac Puerto (San Bruno)

This port town is located less than one hour north east of the City of Merida
 (65 kilometers) and 20 minutes from Progresso, making it just far enough
 away from the denser population areas so that it maintains a laid-back feeling.

Telchac Puerto has a lot of useful services including an English Language bookstore, a bakery and several seafood restaurants.  There is also a small market and clinic, a tortilla factory, a harbor that has a gas pump, a
 hardware store, fried fish stands and more.

There is town plaza, a park with a children's play area and a lighthouse on
 the small seaside promenade. Three miles west of Telchac Puerto, inland,
 you will find the Mayan temples of Xcambo. For breakfast, lunch and
 dinner there
 are a number of good restaurants serving ceviche, fried fish, shrimp cocktails, and fish fillet.

During July and August, the main plaza is especially folkloric as the fair is in town with booths offering foods, knick-knacks and carnival rides.

The Patron Saint of Telchac is San Diego de Alcala and the festivities
 are in November.

To get to Telchac Puerto, go from Merida up north towards Progresso and go
 east when you reach the beach. Or go to Motul, and head north to the beach from there.
