+ 1 on the half moon bay, Acumal. I was there just last month, and are there ever a lot of turtles there. They are used to snorkelers as well, so they do not swim away.
I swam out to the breakwater (watch out for boats) and saw a basking shark on the bottom.
And its all free, public beach!

In case anyone cares, here is the link for the webcam of the beach at Akumal.
Its just beside a dive shop, can't remember the name.
The public swimming (roped off) is to the left of the scene and continues for quite a bit.
Although people swim all over the place.

Its time for a name change Laurie, I don't think "Canreefaddict" or " canreefoholic" are taken yet.

The webcam is on the Lo Ha beach bar, and hosted by LocoGringo

I heard about Acumal, maybe I'll save us all some $$$ and just go there instead. I tried to snorkel today and I couldn't quite do it I hate breathing out of my mouth and anytime I saw a fish I'd smile and my mask would fill up with water. Almost had it figured out a few time but then a big wave would come by and screw me all up. I'll post lots of pic.'s when I get back home.

Just keep your face in the water when you are snorkeling. As soon as you look up and try to breathe you are sucking water.

Looks like I'll be going to Xel-ha after all. All of my friends who are on this trip with us (for the wedding) booked it, so we didn't want to be left out. We were supposed to go today but it was pouring rain this morning so we switched the trip to Sat. Since early this morning the rain has almost stoped so here's hoping the weather gets better. Our room also flooded (from the rain) so we're hoping to switch rooms today, but we have to wait until 12 noon (check out time) to see if another room is available. We have a spa trip booked for 12:30pm so I'm not sure we'll have time to swap rooms before we go to the spa. Steve went to the beach but I heard it was red flaged (which means you can't go in to swim) so I'll see if I can find him. I was going to take a nap, got up at 5:15am this moring for our trip to Xel-ha that we moved to Sat., but the maids are in our room right now trying to get all the water out Fun trip so far At least the wedding day was nice.
