Nestled between Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Puerto Morelos is a charming coastal town that strikes the perfect balances tranquility and adventure. It’s known for its vibrant coral reef, laid-back vibe, and authentic Mexican charm.
Puerto Morelos has preserved its roots as a traditional fishing village, offering visitors a glimpse of authentic Mexican coastal life. The town’s central point is the Javier Rojo Gómez Square, surrounded by shops, cozy cafés, and the bustling Hunab-Ku artisan market.
From the market, take a short walk to the beach and the iconic leaning lighthouse, a symbol of the town’s resilience. Tilted by hurricanes over the years, remains a proud testament of the town’s enduring spirit.
Puerto Morelos is near the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef in the world. This protected marine park boasts some of the Riviera Maya’s most pristine and well-preserved reefs, making it a must-visit for snorkelers and divers.
For experienced divers, the C-56 Juan Escutia wreck offers a unique underwater adventure. This former navy ship was intentionally sunk in 2000 to create an artificial reef, now teeming with life.
A catamaran tour is one of the most magical experiences in Puerto Morelos. Set sail for a three-hour journey through Punta Maroma Bay, stopping at the Great Mayan Reef for snorkeling.
Discover vibrant corals, purple gorgonians, and schools of colorful fish, including parrotfish, butterflyfish, and barracudas.
