Akumal |
Akumal - The place of the turtle in Mayan - earns its name from the yearly return of the majestic and endangered sea turtles to its shores each summer to lay their eggs. This once coconut plantation, turned diver's paradise is the oldest resort town on the coast. First accessible only by boat from Cozumel, Akumal retains much of its original relaxed, unhurried atmosphere synonymous with Mexico itself!
The allure of Akumal begins with its quaint, small-town feel and only gets better as visitors snorkel the two amazing bays, Akumal Bay and Half Moon Bay, which are teeming with sea-life. The main bay, Akumal Bay, is one of the few expansive public beaches left on the coastline; and, another beauty of this beach is the ample amount of amenities that are at the fingertips of visitors. Don't miss the natural inlet, Yal-ku Lagoon in North Akumal, offering snorkelers a truly unique snorkeling adventure. With gourmet restaurants, trendy shops, and unique finds, Akumal is a great place for the whole family.
