Activities in Akumal

YALKU LAGOON

Location: In North Akumal, just north west of Half Moon Bay

Yalku Lagoon is one of the most popular destinations in Akumal. This Caribbean inlet is filled with underwater sea life; every nook has something new and colorful to offer. It is like snorkeling/diving in an aquarium, great for small kids, especially if the surf is up on the bays.

There is a small entrance fee to the Lagoon (as of this writing it is 150 pesos), unless you rent a lagoon-front property. There is a parking lot, paths with a few stairways for entering the water and bathrooms. Mixture of spring fed fresh water mixed with ocean salt water. Sturdy footwear and towels are a nice thing to have here, as there is not a beach entrance, just limestone terraces. There also is a small cafe style restaurant offering burgers, tacos and cold beverages. Snorkel equipment available for rental. Left past the arch at the entrance to Akumal.
