The Riviera Maya - Playa del Carmen, Akumal, Tulum, Xpu-Ha - is comprised of a string of sparkling beaches, Mayan archeological sites, villages, and resorts - an attractive alternative for vacationers wanting a Mexican Caribbean getaway without the crowds and clamor.
Akumal beach is bursting with scenic and natural wonders, perfect for the escapist looking for a Caribbean adventure or romantic seclusion.
Las Bahias de Akumal . . . or "The Akumal Bays" are a series of six bays starting at Yal-Ku Lagoon to the north and ending at Aventuras Akumal to the south.

Here you can find shopping, dive shops, restaurants, an Akumal beach bar, places to stay and a great main beach on Akumal Bay.

Jade Beach, also called Jade Bay, is just past the southern point from Akumal Bay to the next bay. Jade beach is within walking distance to Akumal Bay via the Akumal beach where foot protection is  recommended.

South Akumal is the next bay south from Jade Beach, South Akumal's entrance from the highway is called South Buceo and is a deluxe gated residential community with beach front villas and a couple of condos on a sandy Akumal beach.
