The world's longest reef?
The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef is the second largest in the world, and it passes through Mexico, Belize, and Honduras. The SECOND largest coral reef is located in the Yucatan waters near Mexico.In the early 1980s, the pristine, beach-girdled Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatan peninsula was marked by little more than a few fishing villages. There was a hotel here and a hammock there, but not much of an effort to identify their position, nor much infrastructure to support them.But just as it did for Cancún in the early 1970s, Mexico's government tourism development agency decided to put a name to this beautiful face, and the Riviera Maya was born. And soon enough, a highway was built parallel to the coast, linking these sun-drenched towns and villages to the Cancúnairport.Sure, the name rings of romanticized marketing conceit, but Riviera Maya is indeed an ideal description of the magic carpet of sand that unrolls virtually unbroken for 81 miles south of Cancún.The Riviera Maya starts in Puerto Morelos, one of the coast's last genuine fishing villages, 12 miles south of the Cancúnairport. The beach here is not as impressive as those deeper into the region -- the salt-and-pepper shoreline doesn't glisten quite as brightly, and less-than translucent seas have a blanket of turtle grass underfoot.But there are advantages to being based in Puerto Morelos. Your airport transfer is barely 20 minutes, and he proximity of Cancún makes an evening out on the town a realistic option. Nightlife in laid-back Puerto Morelos may be a tad scruffy, but it's fun for an evening or two. Better still, the barrier reef -- the world's second-longest -- lies less than a mile offshore and it's a designated marine reserve along this section of Riviera Maya. The beaches are quiet and uncrowded.
