The Riviera Maya is known for its beaches<\/a>, so it\u2019s no surprise that everywhere you go you can find cool fresh white beaches of sand and awesome green blue water. But my favorite stretch of beach is called Akumal.<\/span><\/p>\n

Akumal<\/a>\u00a0is about 30 minutes from Playa del Carmen and about 10 minutes from Tulum. It\u2019s a small little beach town that sports only a few restaurants and cabin-like hotel rooms. It\u2019s a perfect spot for a relaxing quiet beach day.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Best Thing about Akumal<\/strong><\/p>\n

Well there are a few things, but first, it\u2019s a great place to go snorkeling. You can swim right off the beach and find turtles and fish within seconds. And not just little turtles and fish, huge ones!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Secondly, the beach is spotted with palm trees, so it makes finding a shady spot easy. I love just taking a sarong and sitting under a tree reading a good book or listening to some music.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Another great thing is that it is a bay, so the waves are calm and don\u2019t knock you over. You can sit in the water and enjoy the gentle rock of the water.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A Place for Everyone<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"RetirementAkumal really is a great place to enjoy the beach on any day. I guess the only negative thing is that on Sunday it\u2019s the place to be and can get a little crowded. You can find all the locals enjoying their surrounds as much as any tourist. The whole family comes down to the beach, with coolers full of drinks and lunch for everyone.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It really is nice to see that Akumal is not only a touristic place but also home for so many. Take a trip and enjoy!!!<\/p>\n
