About Puerto Morelos

Puerto Morelos is a town in Quintana Roo on the Yucatan Peninsula, about 20km south of Cancun.  It is both a fishing village and a snorkeling-diving destination  featuring the world's second largest barrier reef. It is located roughly  halfway between Cancun and Playa del Carmen on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula.  The pier in the center of town hosts snorkel and sport fishing boats  while yachts dock in a man-made harbour just south of town. The village  used to be the embarkation point for the car ferry to Cozumel, but that  now leaves from Calica, a major port south of Playa del Carmen.
