The Sea Turtles On Tulum’s Turtle Beach
Summer season is a really wonderful time of the year. I was blessed enough to vacation a few months in the Yucatan vicinity this summer season. It was honestly an amazing experience to be there. I spent the majority of my time in a petite beach municipality referred to as Tulum. Tulum is situated in the Riviera Maya roughly 90 miles to the south of Cancun and approximately 40 miles from Playa Del Carmen. That is a reasonably straightforward cruise when you rent a car and stay on highway 307 all of the way. You can even take a bus for only a very affordable fee. A taxi ride wouldn’t even be excessively outrageous either, but as a result of riding the bus or renting a van or car you’ll absolutely be saving funds. Easily, my most favorite factor about Tulum is the nation. You’ll meet one after another authentic people in Tulum, mainly the region’s Mayans and Mexicans who live there. An added splendid trait is the beaches. Tulum has a few of the most astonishing seashores in the globe. You probably didn’t know that some of the Corona commercials with the couple on the beach was recorded here. Yes, it’s absolutely as wonderful as it appears on TV and yes, you should come down for a visit!
The very first beach I traveled to immediately moved into the top of my greatest beach experiences list. I had by no means experienced anything like it, it was so perfect and heavenly . My contacts who are actually residents around here call it Turtle beach, however the formal designation is Xcacel (esh-ca-sell). It truly is merely a ten minute drive north of Tulum on highway three hundred and seven. Not surprisingly they entitled it turtle beach since should you go at nighttime in the early to mid summertime you will actually have the opportunity to see genuine live sea turtles lay their eggs in the sand. Make sure to stay a healthy distance away from the turtle during this process because you may scare the turtle if you get too close. In addition, since this happens at night, the ideal time is when the moon and stars are shining bright. Flashlights will scare the turtle so you must choose a night when the sky is bright so that you can see.
If all your lucky stars align, you may be in for an experience unlike any you’ll ever witness in nature. One evening, I was lucky enough to see a live turtle laying eggs during my stay down here. This magical moment is something every nature lover should see at least once in their lives.
If you go to Turtle Beach in the daytime, the first thing you’ll notice is there are very few people at this beach. It’s almost like having you own private beach for the afternoon. I’ve never seen more than 50-100 people there and that is a busy day and still doesn’t seem like much over the 3/4 mile stretch of beach. It is so peaceable because of this. The water is so amazing too. The waves barely even exist and the water is 75-80 degrees always. It makes it easy to play with the kids in the water without getting cold or getting smacked by waves. By the time the typically large ocean waves meet up with the Coral Reef which extends miles from shore, the same waves are tiny or non-existent when they reach Turtle Beach. If you’re a fan of scuba or snorkeling you’ll love the Coral Reef because of the amazing sea life you can observe relatively close to shore. There are even countless options for professional diving tours in the Tulum area. The next time I’m back in this area, I will definitely be scuba diving.
I certainly hope that time flies between then and now. The entirety of the Yucatan is so beautiful. Cancun and Playa del Carmen have so much to offer too. There are hundreds, if not thousands of Playa del Carmen hotels and other Yucatan Peninsula hotels that you’ll love if you like to be where all the people are. Tulum Mexico hotels will also give you luxury but the prices are usually more affordable and the service more personable. I personally recommend Tulum Mexico as a vacation destination for anyone. With wide-open spaces, beautiful jungles, amazing beaches, Mayan ruins, tasty restaurants and more, I’m confident you’ll learn that Tulum is exactly the vacation you’re looking for.
