Xcaret (little inlet), used to be the ancient port of Polé and it was also one of the most important trade and maritime ports that had its golden days in the Late Post-Classic period (1400-1517 AC).

Within the natural shelter of the inlet, boats carrying honey, copal, jade and gold ornaments, obsidian knifes and other merchandise, were unloaded.
