A Brief Look at Its Past

Founded in 1871, Progreso was established to connect inland Yucatán with the rest of the world through its port. Throughout the years, it has grown from a small shipping town into one of the region's most important seaside destinations, known for its pier that stretches far into the turquoise sea.

When Is the Best Time to Go?

The best time to visit is during the dry season, from November to April, when the weather is sunny, pleasant, and perfect for beach activities. While the summer months can be hotter and more humid, they are also filled with local festivals and a lively atmosphere.

Are the Beaches Safe for Swimming?

Yes, the beaches are generally safe for swimming, thanks to gentle waves and gradual slopes. However, like any coastal area, it's always good to follow local advice about the water conditions and swim in designated areas.
