Puerto Morelos is one of the best kept secrets in the Yucatan. Anyone who happens into this awesome little Caribbean town quickly falls in love! The town is growing, but in ways that enhance it instead of cause it to lose its charm and appeal.
Another very unique aspect that makes up the groovy little town of Puerto is the barrier reef which runs along its shores, as well as the mangrove that separates the sea side of town from the colonia.
As most travelers to this part of the world already know, the 2nd largest barrier reef in the world runs the length of the Yucatan Peninsula (for snorkelers and divers to enjoy). In Puerto Morelos, the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef comes right to the surface around 300 yards off-shore. You can watch the white water as the ocean waves break apart and tumble over the coral reef, creating fantastic sights and sounds to enjoy from your lounge chair.
Puerto Morelos is truly a unique, wonderful place to visit and experience!
