Isla holbox

Isla Holbox is an island in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located on the north coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It is approximately 12 kilometres long and 1.5 kilometres wide, and separated from the mainland by a shallow lagoon that is home to flamingos, pelicans and other birdlife. The island's local population is approximately 1600. Not yet heavily touristed, the island's main industry is fishing. However, the island is developing a growing tourist industry in the form of whale shark viewing. The island is accessed by ferry from the mainland town of Chiquila, and has virtually no cars, with transport by most residents and tourists by golf cart or moped. A small airline, Aerosaab, flies tours to Holbox from Cancún and has built a small airstrip to accommodate its five-seater Cessna aircraft.
