Caderitas (coordinates: ) is a city on the east coast of the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico.
The city is situated on the western side of Chetumal Bay, near the mouth of the Río Hondo. Because of its location on the Caribbean coastline, it is vulnerable to tropical cyclones; Hurricane Janet and Hurricane Dean, both Category 5 storms, made landfall near Calderitas in 1955 and 2007 respectively.[1]
