Located twenty minutes south of Cancun’s airport, and thirty minutes north of Playa del Carmen, the small fishing village of Puerto Morelos in Riviera Maya is a favorite for travelers who want to feel off the grid but still be within a quick drive of a big city.

The only time you’ll notice an influx of visitors is during summer when the annual fishing tournaments take place. Many of Puerto Morelos’ hotels are huddled around the 4-block-wide, 15-block-long seaside part of town and are on the smaller side (think less than 40 rooms), but for travelers who would like the amenities of an all-inclusive resort, there are some located just outside of town.

Strolling along the main beach in Puerto Morelos, you’ll come across El Faro Inclinado, or the leaning lighthouse, a symbol of the city. While you’re here, you won’t want to miss seeing the National Reef Park of Puerto Morelos, which is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef—the second-largest in the world. This reef also runs along the length of Quintana Roo. What makes Puerto Morelos unique is that this part of the reef is just 400 meters away from the shore! It only takes a few minutes by boat for snorkelers and divers to reach from the dock downtown.
