On the coast, almost halfway between Playa Del Carmen and Cancun, sits the sleepy little town of Puerto Morelos. One road in, one road out - you can't miss it. But many do. The road ends at the town square - a true family orientated place.This town wasn't built for tourists but for the people. We first visited here in 99 and spent a very romantic night in a small little place right on the beach. I always go back and am happy to say the place is still there and the vibe never changes. You can still smell the patuli oil in the air and catch the yoga at 7 am.This is a very well centered town - growing at a much slower rate than Playa and Cancun- with a much more peaceful result. A beach that easily compares with anywhere else here and goes on forever. Restaurants and shops galore, dive shops, snorkel trips, the best reef around - this is a place that is hard to get out of your soul. This is not party central - this is laid back Mexico at it's best, a stone's throw away from the hustle and bustle. It is also home to a major cargo port, just around the corner from the town square - it's only going to cost $175 to ship my motorcycle from Fort Lauderdale to here. ;) In the meantime I rent a car - Mexico is a great place to drive and explore. location@ Google map @ www.yolotraveller.com
