Taam Ja' Blue Hole

Deep blue hole in Chetumal Bay, now recognised as one of the world’s deepest.

Taam Ja' Blue Hole lies in Chetumal Bay and has become one of the area’s most intriguing natural features. Scientific surveys have shown it to be extraordinarily deep, which turns what could sound like a local curiosity into a serious marine and geological landmark.

Access is not the same as visiting a beach or cenote, so check locally before trying to arrange a trip. For travellers interested in the bay’s ecology, it adds a wilder, less developed counterpoint to Chetumal’s museums and waterfront promenade.
