Isla Aguada

Travel Guide
Isla de Aguada which includes a bay or harbor
Marvel at the array of colorful birds in the nature sanctuary and explore the old lighthouse’s museum filled with archaeological treasures from the sea.

The Isla de Aguada is a town on a promontory with a pair of charming lighthouses and a rich fishing tradition. It is an ideal base from which to explore Isla de Pajaros, a tiny island packed with all manner of birds and other wildlife. Have a meal of succulent shrimp and wander the narrow alleys of this quaint town.

Snap photos of the tall white tower of the Isla de Aguada Lighthouse, which dates back over 100 years. Take a look around the various exhibits of the lighthouse’s museum. The institution reveals the regional history of subaquatic archaeology. See tools, anchors and weapons from past centuries. Admire the various colorful works of art depicting the lighthouse.

Climb to the viewing platform for a scenic vista of the Términos Lagoon. The best views of the water are at sunset. Notice that a modern lighthouse stands beside the old one. Dine at one of the restaurants on this semi-island for such seafood specialties as deviled shrimp. Stroll along the coastal boardwalk for excellent views of the water.

Embark on a boat trip from the Isla de Aguada to the Isla de Pajaros. With luck you may spot dolphins following your vessel. Gaze up at some of the thousands of gulls, herons and frigate birds that decorate the sky in this sanctuary. Tours often continue through a dense and tropical mangrove, where you can spot a great range of wildlife.

Pay a fee for the boat excursion to Isla de Pajaros, which takes about 2 hours in total. The most popular times are from April through July.

Find the Isla de Aguada in the state of Campeche in the southeastern corner of Mexico. It is just northeast of the Isla del Carmen, between the Términos Lagoon and the Gulf of Mexico. Drive southwest from Campeche city along the coast for 100 miles (160 kilometers) to get here in about 2 hours.
