Municipal Bathing Area El Aserradero : info and guided tour

Introduction to Balneario Municipal El Aserradero

Balneario Municipal El Aserradero is a public swimming area located in Bacalar, on the shore of the famous Lagoon of Seven Colors. At C. 14 8, right in the center, it offers easy access to the turquoise water and attracts both locals and travelers looking for a quiet place to cool off.

This municipal beach stands out less for monumental architecture than for its location on the shoreline and its useful bathing facilities. Its appeal lies mainly in its direct connection to Bacalar Lagoon, an iconic landscape of Quintana Roo that has become one of the city’s best-known landmarks.

The site is appreciated for its local atmosphere and for the open view over the shallow waters, often noted for their shades of blue. People come here to enjoy public access to the lagoon, take in the scenery, and experience the very lively character of Bacalar, between lakeside nature and a small Caribbean town.

Balneario Municipal El Aserradero is best known as a simple and accessible meeting point, where you can discover Bacalar without any frills. Its popularity rests more on the quality of the natural setting than on any built decor, making it a representative stop for the city’s beach identity.
