Along the coast bathed by the azure waters of the Caribbean in Playa del Carmen, you can visit some of the beaches on the Riviera Maya, such as Xcaret, a small bay with caves and freshwater cenotes, or limestone sinkholes; Akumal, Xel-ha and Tulum 63 km away from Playa del Carmen.


Akumal

 

Akumal

 

 

Akumal is 36 km southwest of Playa del Carmen and consists of a beautiful bay whose fine, white-sanded beach runs parallel to a protective coral reef about 300 meters out to sea. The sea is many different tones of blue and is the ideal place to dive and watch the sea turtles that come here to lay their eggs in the summer.

 

 

Boca Paila

This beach was made for diving, as there is a barrier of reefs and a lagoon adjoining the sea inhabited by both land and marine species. It is located some 70 km southwest of Playa del Carmen.

 

 

Chemuyil

The almost negligible waves make this place ideal for diving between the beach and the reef that is inhabited by many different species of multicolored tropical fish. The beach has fine, white sand and is framed by rocky promontories at either end, making it into a cozy, small cove, located about 43 km from Playa del Carmen.

 

 

Kantenah

The waves at this beach, located only 31 km along the highway towards Tulum, are moderate in size. The fine sand is white in color and the incline is gentle.

 

 

Puerto Aventuras

This is a tourist center with all tourist facilities, including a marina next to a fine-grained, white-sanded beach with moderate sized waves. The surrounding area is rich in vegetation and fauna. It is located 30 km from Playa del Carmen.

 

 

Tulum

Archaeological zone, 132 km from Cancún, whose location on the edge of a cliff overlooking the Caribbean Sea makes it one of the most spectacular in the Mayan World.

 

 

 

 

 

Xcaret

Here you can swim with dolphins, dive in the nearby coral reef or just swim in the most transparent waters in the world. Archaeological zones, underground rives, aquariums that reproduce the Mayan reef, botanical gardens and an aviary for reproducing endangered species. The bay provides refuge for thousands of species of brightly-colored fish.
