Known forecological parksnorkelingreefprotected area
Punta Nizuc is a protected ecological area at the southern tip of the Hotel Zone where the Caribbean meets the Nichupté Lagoon, featuring a small but healthy coral reef accessible by snorkeling directly from the beach. The reef here is part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef system and is genuinely impressive for an easily accessible urban snorkel site. Access is managed to protect the ecosystem, and entry fees are modest. Caveat: the area can have strong currents and the beach facilities are minimal — go with a guide if you're not a confident swimmer.
