Akumal is a picturesque coastal town on the Yucatan Peninsula. It’s perfectly positioned between Tulum and Chetumal to the south and Playa del Carmen and Cancun to the north and offers easy access to the island of Cozumel. In Mayan language, Akumal means “Place of the Turtle,” which should give you a pretty great idea as to what you can see while snorkeling in Akumal’s crystal clear ocean.
