Costa de Cocos is a fishing /eco tourism lodge on the beach just north of the town of Xcalak that has been operating as a fishing lodge for the last 9 years. The lodge can accept up to 10 anglers  a week as they have 5 staff guides and boats.  The lodge also includes a small fly shop with spare rods and reels, and a full restaurant, and bar ( all drinks are included in our fishing package).  The thatched roof cabanas are well appointed and quite romantic with options for single beds for the guys or double or queen beds for couples.  Owned and managed by fishermen, you will find no better place for a grand slam than Costa de Cocos. 

After reading this page you may want some more details by using the links found up and to the right of this text, they will overlay a specific detail page. For more pictures try out our new photo gallery topics also on the right, a little further down the page.

The trips begin with your arrival at the airport in Cancun. You will be greeted by our drivers and whisked away towards your new home. Finally after about 4 hours the paved road ends as we near the town and the lodge is just a few miles away. I am sure you will be ready for your first magarita on the beach!  Your rooms are clean and comfortable and the owners are on site to make sure you will enjoy your stay.  All the rooms face the ocean  with doors  and windows that open to allow the Mayan sea breeze to flow into your room and into your hearts ( Sounds like a Yoga commercial) Anyway back to the lodge.   There is a central restaurant and bar that will be the center of your activities over the next few days. ( evening Margaritas anyone?)

After a good nights sleep the fisherman will meet right after breakfast at the dining room and head out for a day of bone fishing or permit fishing - even a grand slam is possible every day of the year.  You are actually just a few miles from Belize! There are flats just a few minutes from the lodge and some of the most spectacular flats of Chetumal Bay are just 20 minutes away by boat.  The Bay is larger than Ascension Bay with extremely diverse terrain. Some flat are hard white sand other can be grassy or some can be mucky.  The shoreline is mostly mangroves with the occasional deserted beach. Wading allows both anglers in the boat to fish and gets us closer to the fish.  The flies we use tend to be lighter versions of the typical bonefish flies. These fish hang out in very thin water so sometimes no weight at all is best.  Brown or pink seen to be the hot colors with tan and white a close second!

The boats are locally made Pangas specially adapted for fly fishing with a large casting platform up front.
