of Tulum
Tulum has some of the best snorkeling in the Caribbean. Here you can enjoy some incredible experiences, and an abundance of sealife – eels, groupers, snappers, turtles, parrotfish and numerous corals. Snorkeling in Tulum is often as exciting as diving. The coral reefs offshore are shallow enough to allow snorkelers to have a great experience. You’ll be surrounded by tropical fish and colorful corals. If you’re ready for an adventure, be sure to book a snorkeling trip to a cenote where the crystal clear water will allow you to see deep into the earth.

Playa Ruinas
Tulum’s reputation for stunning aesthetics rests largely on Playa Ruinas, which boasts well-preserved Mayan ruins overlooking the Caribbean Sea.
The beach combines white sand, turquoise waters and a site of genuine historical importance. The clifftop Castillo was built as a watchtower in the 13th century Ranked among the very best in the entire region, exquisite white sands beautifully wedged between a wall of palm trees and the turquoise sea.
Playa Paraíso
This majestic, untouched stretch of sand is surrounded by looming palm trees and rugged cliffs. A popular place for yoga enthusiasts and iguanas, the beach is large enough to ensure that it’s never overrun with people. Pearly runway of sand offering as well as an ideal jumping-off point for snorkeling the nearshore reefs.
Las Palmas Public Beach
Another legendary spot in Tulum, Las Palmas is blessed with a serene stretch of sand and gentle turquoise waves. More secluded than Playa Paraíso, you won’t find vendors or restaurants in the immediate area. Although this may be less convenient, it also means Las Palmas is the perfect place for tourists looking to escape the crowded beaches in nearby Cancún or Playa del Carmen. Bring your own picnic and get down to the serious business of soaking up the rays.
Beautiful beach where besides resting and going for a deliciously refreshing swim.
Tulum Reef
The coral area, close to the barrier, is the richest in fish, with schools of doctorfish tang, sergeant major, several species of grunts, butterflyfish, parrotfish, and some impressive barracudas waiting their next prey under the surface. If you are lucky, you could spot a sea turtle, a stingray, or a spotted eagle ray.
Akumal
Nevertheless, if you want to be sure to swim with green sea turtles, head to Akumal, where turtle encounters are guaranteed.
Whale Shark Snorkel
Every year between June and September, whale sharks migrate into the waters off Isla Mujeres. These giant sea creatures are here to feed on plankton so they are also placid and safe to snorkel with.
