The lake it sits upon, Lake Tequesquitengo, was formed over a submerged village, the original town having been flooded in the mid-19th century.
The location is designated as an ejido, meaning the land is managed collectively by the local community rather than private developers.
The water temperature remains relatively consistent year-round due to the lake's geothermal influence.
The site is a popular launch point for local fishermen and small watercraft operators.
Playa Ejidal Xoxocotla is a lakeside recreational area located on the shores of Lake Tequesquitengo in Morelos, Mexico. The site functions as a public access beach managed by the local ejido, providing direct water access for swimming and water sports. The area features basic amenities including food stalls, palapas for shade, and parking facilities. Its shoreline profile is characterized by a gradual entry into the lake, making it a common spot for weekend family gatherings. The facility is situated on the eastern side of the lake, offering views across the water toward the surrounding hills. It serves as an alternative to the more commercialized private beach clubs found elsewhere along the lake perimeter.
