Holbox · Mexico

The short version, from the cited sources

A laid-back, car-free beach on the Gulf side of Isla Holbox, known for powder-soft sand, shallow mirror-calm water, and flamingo sightings in the surrounding lagoon. Low-key palapa bars and horse-drawn carts stand in for the resorts found on Mexico's Caribbean coast.
