Formerly a small fishing village, tourism is now the main source of cash flow for its citizens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The village is divided in two. The first is La Colonia, located just off Route 307, the Riviera Maya&#8217;s main road from Canc\u00fan to Tulum. This part is a little more authentic, with low-cost local restaurants, street food stalls and more rustic houses. There&#8217;s also a huge Chedraui, a large-scale grocery store well known in Mexico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other side of Route 307, the only road for three kilometers crosses a large swamp before arriving on the <span class=\"nowrap\">&#8220;port&#8221;<\/span> side at the seaside. This part is a little more touristy as there are many hotels, souvenir stores, a phenomenal amount of restaurants, and of course, the white sand beach stretches for miles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides swimming in turquoise water, Puerto Morelos is known for diving and snorkelling. Close to the shore, you&#8217;ll find a large coral reef where many multicolored fish live side by side. It is also possible to go out on the high seas to practice fishing. If you&#8217;re not interested in the water, the many stores, restaurants and beach clubs are waiting with open arms for you to have a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mp-2702.milesopedia.dev\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/PM-3.jpg\" alt=\"Mexico: Riviera Maya and Yucatan travel guide - PM 3\" class=\"wp-image-204154\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>My favorites in Puerto Morelos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In all, I&#8217;ve spent the equivalent of five months in <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mcglobetrotteuse.com\/2021\/03\/29\/bons-restaurants-puerto-morelos\/\">Puerto Morelos<\/a> over the last few years, which tells you how much this village charms me, even though it&#8217;s becoming increasingly touristy and not as <span class=\"nowrap\">&#8220;secret<\/span> &#8221; as it used to be.
