La Palapa

Celestún


A cut above the other seaside joints, La Palapa has an expansive dining area looking down to the sea, as well as a number of tables right on the beach. The go-to dish is the coconut-coated shrimp served in a coconut shell. The perfect spot if you want to swim while waiting for your meal.
