🐢 A Day at Akumal Bay: A Fun Activity Near the Club for All Ages

Looking for a day trip that everyone will enjoy — whether you're living in Tulum Country Club, visiting, or hosting family? Just 10–15 minutes from Tulum Country Club lies one of the most magical spots in the Riviera Maya: Akumal Bay. 

Akumal (which means “Place of Turtles” in Mayan) is famous for its calm turquoise waters and resident sea turtles that feed in the shallow seagrass. It's the perfect low-cost, low-effort outing for all ages — kids, grandparents, renters, and owners alike.

🌊 What You Can Do at Akumal Bay

Snorkel with sea turtles: The bay is a protected area, and you can book a guided snorkel tour to safely swim alongside green sea turtles and colorful fish.

Relax on the beach: The sand is soft and white, and there’s plenty of space to lay out, read a book, or enjoy the sun. Shallow areas are great for younger children too.

Grab a coffee or lunch nearby: There are small cafés, beach clubs, and restaurants just steps away — perfect for a quick bite or a seafood lunch with a view.

Visit the Akumal Art Walk or local shops: Just behind the beach is a charming pedestrian corridor with murals, boutiques, and local artisans — a great place to explore after your swim.
