CASA
BLANCA - PLAYA BLANCA
Casa Blanca
Casa Blanca has earned a reputation as one of the
finest salt water fly fishing lodges in the
Caribbean. It is located on the southern edge of
Ascension Bay on a beautiful point jutting out into
the Caribbean. Bonefish and permit are the primary
targets, but tarpon, snook, barracuda and the whole
array of salt water fish are present.
Fishing is done from Dolphin skiffs with
experienced guides. Accommodations are comfortable
and spacious and all located on the beach with the
Caribbean knocking on your door. Meals are a treat
with an imaginative menu that includes as a
specialty varieties of fresh seafood.
The price includes a charter flight down
the coast from Cancun to the lodges private air
strip. Rates vary with the season, but are in the
$3,000 – 3,500 range.
Playa Blanca
Playa Blanca is located a few miles down the beach
from Casa Blanca. The fishery is similar with a
focus on Espiritu Santo Bay and the many mangrove
lagoons located in the area. What sets Playa Blanca
apart is that it also has an array of activities
available that make it much more than a fishing
lodge – a “fishing/adventure” lodge would be more
appropriate.
It’s beautiful beach hosts many water
activities from snorkeling to water kayaking. There
are the ruins of a Mayan town that have been
restored and are with a few hundred yards of the
lodge. Both guided and unguided activities can fill
the day of the non-fisherman – or there is always
doing nothing at all while you lay in your hammock
and watch the waves roll in.
Rates include both a fishing package and
the adventure program rate and are similar to Casa
Blanca’s prices.
