Akumal is a small beach-front tourist resort community in Mexico, 100 km (62 mi) south of Cancún, between the towns of Playa del Carmen and Tulum. It is located on Akumal Bay and Half Moon Bay on the site of a former coconut plantation in Tulum Municipality in the state of Quintana Roo, and is part of the Riviera Maya area. The 2010 census showed a population of 1,310 inhabitants.
The town was officially founded in 1958 as a community for scuba divers by Pablo Bush Romero—a Mexican businessman, diver, writer, historian, and archaeologist. Pablo Bush's family still owns a portion of Akumal, including the hotel Hotel Club Akumal Caribe. Akumal is also home to ONDARTE International Artist Residency.

February 2017 Update - Snorkeling with the sea turtles has been suspended until further notice. This is due to the environmental impact on the turtles and their habitat by the Environmental Protection Agency of Mexico (Procuraduría Federal de Protección al Ambiente https://www.gob.mx/profepa). The ocean floor at Akumal is covered with sea grass, one of the gree sea turtles’ favorite foods. They’ll linger for hours in the bay, casually munching on the grass, and giving you a chance to get up close. GETTING THERE There's a huge sign and overpass to get into Playa del Akumal. You can't miss it driving South on 307. Head 35 km south of Playa in a rental car, taxi or the most economical option, the public bus: COLECTIVO. From Playa take the colectivo vans that are lined up on Calle 2 ...
We give you a review of Akumal Beach. Things to remember -Don't give the people on the road anything (they will try to scam you) Don't buy anything from them Don't pay for the tour (you can see all the same things for free) Don't go near the red buoys (They mark the fire coral) Do go to the beach shop on the beach (everything is cheaper and safer there) Do get an awesome cocktail and snack after =)
4K drone video of the beautiful Akumal Bay in the Mayan Riviera, Mexico. Shot with a DJI Phantom Professional in April 2017.
La bahía de Akumal, ubicada en el municipio de Tulum, se ha convertido en botín de hoteleros, empresarios, prestadores de servicios, autoridades, el Centro Ecológico de Akumal y compañías foráneas de tours, lo que ha provocado sobrexplotación y, en consecuencia, enfermedades en las tortugas marinas, contaminación y pobreza en el poblado. Las autoridades de los tres niveles de gobierno han permitido la anarquía y el deterioro paulatino del medio ambiente. Los involucrados en la problemática hablan sobre lo que ocurre en Akumal, la lucha sobre el territorio privatizado, sus playas, y sobre quiénes tienen derecho sobre los recursos naturales y el acceso a la bahía.
Swimming with the turtles in Akumal, Mexico. If you rent out a life jacket and take your own snorkel you WILL see plenty of turtles. I saw 4-5 in the short amount of time I was in the sea. Stunning place to visit, just get a taxi there, cost us about £35 return from the Riu Tequila. This was shot with a Qumox SJ4000. Its basically a GoPro, its compatible with GoPro attachments, but its a fraction of the cost. I paid around £70 and whilst the quality is not quite as good as a £250-£350 GoPro its more than adequate.

This is our 10 day Mexico trip to the Yucatan Peninsula (Cancun, Playa Del Carmen, Akumal, Tulum). Instead of getting a car, we show you tips on public transportation and where to go to eat and have fun! PLAYA DEL CARMEN TIPS Tip 1: Go all the way outside to buy your ADO bus ticket. We arrived at Cancun terminal 3 airport. Exit to the right and go outside past everyone and you will find the ADO bus stall. For $178 peso gets you from Cancan Airport to Playa Del Carmen. There is an ADO stall inside but if you buy it there, other people will be trying to sell you tourist attractions. This was our first mistake as we were taken into to one of these salespeople. Attraction prices are cheaper because you have to attend a 90 min club membership presentation. We advised the sales lady...

Akumal on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico is one of the most beautiful destinations in the Caribbean. You can stay right in Akumal in a variety of hotels or there's homes and condo's to rent, alternatively if you are staying in any of a number of all inclusive resorts in the Playa Del Carmen/Playacar area or nearby, a short taxi ride and you can be snorkeling with sea turtles all day.

Oh Camil, tell me how do you feel?
You fought for your country
for God and for war,
now your heart tells you that can't be real.
So you tell me your story from beginning to end
all the blood and the guts and the gore
will you tell all the people
'bout the people you killed,
not for God, but for country and war?
Oh! Camil, tell me what did you mother say,
when you left those people out in the fields,
rotting along with the hay?
Did you show her your medals?
Did you show her your guns?
Did you show her the ears that you wore?
Did you show her a picture of the people you killed
not for God, but for country and war?
Oh! Camil, tell me why are you in this place?
When you stood up for justice your country replied
by throwing it back in your face.
When you tell me your story
are you making amends for all of the hatred you saw?
Will you tell all the people about the people that cry out for God
