The Jewel of the Mayan Riviera - Puerto Morelos


The Jewel Of The Mayan Riviera – Puerto Morelos!
by Susan Gerle

The white, silky sands of Puerto Morelos, and the turquoise blue of the Caribbean make a fantastic combination for visitors.  With the second longest reef in the world, Palancar, just 600 meters off-shore the warm calm waters are great for swimming and snorkeling.  Don’t be surprised if you end up swimming alongside a sting-ray, turtle, or barracuda in the calm waters.  They come in closer to shore around the middle of February.

It used to be anyone who discovered Puerto Morelos would go home with the message, “don’t tell anybody else about this jewel.”  Gradually more people discovered it though and the tourists came.
