Akumal, the
Original. Akumal is a small beach community
located along a mile and half stretch of
coastline that encompasses two beautiful bays.
Akumal Bay, which is basically the commercial
center of Akumal, with gently sloping white
sandy beaches, and Half Moon Bay where you will

crowded. The beach is soft white sandy turning
rocky as you enter the water. Half Moon Bay is
great for snorkeling with coral, sea turtles,
and many species of tropical fish. May through
September, Akumal's beaches, especially Half
Moon Bay, are important turtle nesting
grounds. Within

including luxury villas, vacation homes, well
equipped condominiums, and hotel rooms. There
