Puerto Morelos
Only 30 minutes north of Playa del Carmen and 15 min south of the Cancun Airport, Puerto Morelos is a little-known fishing village with beautiful beaches and coral reefs. The Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (the second longest coral reef system in the world) is adjacent to the beaches of Playa de Carmen, making this an amazing place for diving and snorkeling.

Croco Cun Zoo
This is an interactive zoo where you can get pictures with baby crocodiles while you hold them, and keep an eye open above you for wild monkeys that swing down for a free lunch! When you first go in your guide will give you a bag of multiple types of snacks to pass out on your adventure! We got to feed parrots, white-tailed deer, spider monkeys, and hairless dogs. Your tour will last around 60-75 minutes around this conservation project and interactive zoo.

Sunscreen
Our ocean life is being ruined by more than just plastics and garbage, another way that tourists are harming marine animals is through what they do not realize they are bringing in with them. SUNSSCREEN! Reef-safe sunscreen is one of the most important things you can bring with you to the beach. Only biodegradable sunscreens are permitted on the Mayan Riviera. The most common brands of sunscreen have PABA, octinoxate, and oxybenzone are among the common ingredients that have been linked to damaging the coral reefs ecosystem as well as causing tumors on turtles and other ocean animals. Look for a sunscreen that is also "waterproof" so that your application does not come off in the water.

Try to find your own to bring its much more expensive on the coast.
