SNORKELING

Akumal Bay, Half Moon Bay or Yalkú lagoon. You can to rent masks and fins at both of Akumal's dive facilities.

For the well-being of the reef and lagoon, please follow these recommendations:

Kicking the sand with your fins smothers the coral and it will soffocate.

Using sun block while snorkeling or scuba diving kills the coral. Wear shorts and T-shirt instead.

Touching, kicking, or standing on the coral will damage and kill the coral.
