There are lots of places to explore while staying at Luna Azul. There are two beaches here, Akumal Bay and Half Moon Bay.  The beach just outside your back door is a great start. Half Moon Bay is a beautiful white sand beach that's nice and soft on your feet.  The sand is so white that it never gets too hot to walk on.  If you're here during May or June you may be lucky enough to witness a Sea Turtle laying eggs.  Half Moon Bay also provides some of the best beginners' snorkeling in the area.

From your home on the magic white sand of Half Moon Bay, magic because it is never so hot that it burns your feet, you can walk barefoot and look out over the clear blue water to the distant horizon.  You will need your shoes to walk to the local wonder of Yalku lagoon.  The lagoon is a nationally protected area that resembles an outdoor aquarium. Snorkeling there will introduce you to the variety of colorful tropical fish that are part of this ecosystem.  Another fascinating spot is Lagartos Lagoon.  Ask at the ecological center for a guide to take you on the hidden paths through the jungle to this place that is from out of time.
