Akumal Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Gary Chandler

  • Snorkel, dive, and swim in Akumal's three bays: Half Moon Bay, greater Akumal Bay, and Aventuras Akumal Bay.
  • Dive, shop, eat, or hang out at the beach in central Akumal.
  • Head north to Yal-Ku Lagoon, where schools of tropical fish light up the water.
  • Ride horseback through the jungle at Santa Cruz ranch, stopping for a quick dip at a nearby cenote.
  • Taxis are overpriced. Take a bus—they're clean and inexpensive.
