The sun\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rays are very strong and can cause sunburns, avoid being out in the sun for long periods during the hours of 10 am and 4 pm.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Protective barriers:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ideally you can find a nice place with a palapa to enjoy your cold drink and think about the cold weather back home. If there isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t palapa or shaded area, make sure to bring a sun hat and a beach umbrellas for your protection.\u00c2\u00a0 Remember this is an area that is not very developed, it is important to make sure you have everything you need before getting there.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s255.photobucket.com\/user\/beatlo\/media\/Otros\/XcalacocoPier_zps561ea4be.jpg.html\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/i255.photobucket.com\/albums\/hh138\/beatlo\/Otros\/XcalacocoPier_zps561ea4be.jpg\" alt=\" photo XcalacocoPier_zps561ea4be.jpg\" width=\"589\" height=\"442\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Chairs and blanket:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are chairs made specifically for the beach, they sit low to the ground and fold up neatly, often they include a handy shoulder strap.

If you want to go for the luxury post-sun treatment, bring aloe gel in the icebox and use it after the sun, it feels so cooling and refreshing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Water and snacks:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is essential, bring a variety of things, the closer shop is about 2 kms away! Also make sure to bring plenty of drinking water as it can also be used to rinse yourself!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clothing and water shoes:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bringing along a couple of dry items of clothing is always a good idea, also there are areas in Xcalacoco beach that have rocks on the shore; water shoes are essential.
