There is a crescent shaped beach called Half Moon Bay that is perfect for basking the sun. Akumal Bay is where sea turtles come to lay their eggs in the summer months…the bay also offers excellent snorkelling along coral reefs in the crystal clear Caribbean waters. Biking is the preferred form of transportation and car rentals are available.
