My mom and dad lived in Mexico bch for over 15 yrs,just down the road from Tucan's and we have alway's loved the beach for not being crowded,filled with rude people,no worrying about sitting on someones propertyand getting arrested,little to no riptides/undertow except during storms,sometimes water is crystal clear (but i agree not as pretty as the blue/green of 30A). playing volleyball at Tucans and even having beach fires,excellent shelling and some of the best inshore fishing around, more little eateries opening all the time. sorry no big overpriced restaurants or traffic moving at a snails pace just a nice getaway place
