Punta Nizuc
Best time to visit
Mornings offer calm seas and best underwater visibility, especially between 8–11am. Dry season from November to April reduces wind and chop, making snorkeling easier.
Budget tips
Public shoreline access is usually free, however prime reef reaches often require a small boat or guided snorkel. Bring your own mask and reef-safe sunscreen and book group tours rather than private charters to cut costs.

About
Szybkie fakty: Shallow seagrass beds and bright coral heads sit within easy snorkeling distance, with surface water so clear you can pick out parrotfish, angelfish, and stingrays without diving. Low mangrove fringes and white sand curves shape a coastline where small fishing boats and kayaks bob together, giving the shoreline a relaxed, active feel.
Najważniejsze atrakcje: A crescent of reef begins roughly 150 to 250 meters offshore, where visibility often reaches 15 to 25 meters and snorkelers commonly spot green sea turtles calmly grazing on seagrass. Local guides sometimes tap their hulls or whistle to mark a secret snorkel entrance, and on calm afternoons you can count five to twelve colorful skiffs clustered near a pale sand channel while waves sing against fingerlike coral.
Insider tips
- Arrive before 8:30am for the calmest water and fewer tour groups.
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen and a light rash guard to protect skin and corals.
- Stand at the tip facing the open Caribbean for the best wide-angle shoreline photos.
- Skip private full-day charters unless you want remote reefs; shared half-day snorkel tours hit the same spots cheaper.
