| Akumal is a small
beach-front tourist resort community 100 km (62 miles) south of Cancún,
between the towns of Playa del Carmen and Tulum in the state of Quintana
Roo, Mexico. Akumal means "place of the turtles" in the Mayan language.
The town was officially founded in 1958 as a community for scuba divers
by Pablo Bush Romero--a Mexican businessman, diver, writer, historian,
and archaeologist. The fine white sandy beaches at Akumal Bay and
Half Moon Bay are ideal for swimming and snorkeling. Turtles can be found
in Akumal laying eggs on the beaches at night throughout the nesting season
(April to July) or swimming in the main Bay during the day. Hatching season
runs from September to November, coinciding with hurricane season. This
translates to big losses in the turtle population. Many environmental associations
are settled in the Akumal area, including the Akumal Ecological Center
(officially "Centro Ecologico Akumal" or CEA). Akumal is the site
of several Spanish galleon shipwrecks. One of the most notable stories
of the area is of Gonzalo Guerrero, a seaman from Palos who was shipwrecked
at Akumal and taken hostage and went on to marry a Mayan Princess and begin
the first "mestizoss" (Euro-Americans).
