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.
