Ascension Bay Lodge

SaltwaterPunta Allen, Ascension Bay — Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve

In the village of Punta Allen, inside the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve, this six-room beachfront lodge on Ascension Bay hosts up to 12 anglers a week. Each 23-foot panga carries a senior and a junior guide, and anglers fish for permit, bonefish, tarpon and snook from the boat or on foot when conditions allow, releasing every flats fish. It started in the 1980s as the Ascension Bay Bonefish Club and now belongs to its head guide and the owners of Troutwater Fly Shop, who take the bookings.
