Very close to the city of Tulum, approximately half an hour away, is Akumal, a town with white sand beaches and refreshing crystal clear waters. Akumal is famous for snorkeling so you can see turtles in the area, among other marine animals. You will find several hotel options in front of the beach and also rentals in the town for vacations and even to live. Here are some options of places to visit in this beautiful place.

 

Yal Ku Park. Although it is not well known, it is a place worth visiting. It is part of the Xcaret Experiences group. It is a cove open every day of the week, from 9 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon. Ideal for swimming and snorkeling. You will be able to appreciate many types of fish and beautiful turtles. The place also has a restaurant, lockers, snorkeling equipment and life jacket (all with extra cost). Children under five years old do not pay the entrance. You can go directly to buy your tickets or buy them on the official website. The place has a small parking lot, in case you get there by car.

 

Akumal Beach. One of the best beaches in the Mayan Riviera. Just be a little careful when walking in the water, because in addition to the large number of fish there are, you can also find sea urchins. The water is so transparent that you will be able to see what is inside the water just by looking out a bit.

 

Akumal Monkey Sanctuary & Rescued Animal. Do not lost this only one experience. Recommended if you have small children.
