WHAT MAKES PUERTO MORELOS UNIQUE

In Puerto Morelos tranquility reigns with open skies, long stretches of beach and a small town atmosphere. This is the place to come and relax:  watch the sunrise on the beach, meet the locals, explore the natural wonders such as the coral reef 500 meters from shore, work on your tan, or simply soak up the serenity. Wedged between the bustling cities of Cancun and Playa del Carmen, it has maintained its peaceful atmosphere of a charming Mexican fishing village living up to its nickname “La Joya del Caribe” (Jewel of the Caribbean). The community, a mix of locals and foreigners, works hard to protect Puerto’s status as a National Marine Park and keep development to a minimum. Its close proximity to the airports and bus terminals make Puerto Morelos a perfect base for exploring the Yucatan peninsula.

This small fishing town is quickly becoming one of Mexico’s most popular destinations for many reasons, particularly for its commitment to advance its current tourism offering. We mention just some of the most important achievements and most popular events:
