This city name in giant letters is located on Carretera Avenue just 60 meters (197 feet) from the Mahahual Lighthouse in Mahahual, Quintano Roo, Mexico.

According to Wikipedia, "Mahahual is a village on the Costa Maya in the municipality of Othon P. Blanco on the Caribbean Sea coast of the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico. Previously a fishing village, it is now a rapidly developing tourist center.

The name of Mahahual possibly comes from the word "mahahua", a medium-sized tree native to tropical America.

The village of Mahahual is only about 3 kilometers (1.9 mi) away from the Costa Maya cruise port, and cruise ships can easily be seen from the village. Mahahual has soft sand beaches, grass-thatched palapas, and the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef that runs along the coast. Many hotels, bars, restaurants, and shops can be found in this quaint tourist town.

In 2010, Mahahual had a population of 920. Mahahual is to become a larger tourist center with an airport and a large dock for cruise ships".
