Beach Day in Puerto Morelos

14 Mar

Saturday was a fun day. Juan, Viri and Jorge picked me up from work at 1 pm to go down to the beach. We went to the beach at Puerto Morelos (about 20 minutes south of Cancun), which I’d never done before. I had no idea it was so beautiful! The beach is much wider than the beaches in Cancun and the sand was a little softer, plus there were no waves! Playa Norte on Isla Mujeres is still our favorite beach, but this comes in a close second.

Hahaha – you know how much I LOOOOVE Puerto Morelos!!! We try and go there at least once a week, and yes, the beaches are much nicer to wade in 🙂

Great pics – also, you work Saturdays?? BLAH!!

  Yeah, I work a half day on Saturdays (9 am to 1 pm) and I get 1 Saturday off every month. Kinda lame, because I know I could get just as much work done during the month if I didn’t have to come in Saturdays.

I agree with your top 2 beach choices. And right up there with them is Maroma Beach.

Ack, that is so beautiful. I SERIOUSLY need a vacation right now. So I guess I am just going to have to live vicariously through you. 😉

  Welcome to my blog, Holly! Yes, I do live in Cancun. The second to last picture are empanadas (Argentina-style). So delicious!

the white sands juxtaposed with the blue sky is absolutely heavenly. And pitching that tent–you guys really know how to kick it in style!
