Creator's Key Takeaways
Progreso is known for its long pier and relaxed beach town atmosphere, making it a popular stop for cruisers
I'm kind of liking this so far. It's a cute little town. It's still early in the morning, so it's a little sleepy, but it's nice.
If you're looking for something free to do, I mean, does it get better than a free beach day in Mexico and it's super easy.
I had a great time in Progresso. Everything was super safe. Everybody was super nice.
