What’s the Deal with the Beach-Riviera Maya?
MayanRental Home > FAQ Home > riviera-maya> whats-the-deal-with-the-beach-riviera-maya
The beach is the typical powdery white sand beach of the Caribbean. In the water, it is really too much rock/coral for swimming. There is a small trail through the coral for those wanting to try their hand as snorkelling. If swimming in the ocean is part of your vacation experience, you have a couple of options. You can walk about 10 minutes to the north to where the orange buoys mark a swimming area at the next resort. The beach is open to the public by law.
An alternative is to drive or take a cab the 10 minutes to Puerto Morelos. This small fishing village has a beautiful sandy beach with excellent swimming. You can hire one of the fisherman to take you our snorkeling if you want. There is a nice Mexican restaurant right on the beach. It is on the main square as you come into town. You really can’t miss it.
