I just returned from a week on the Yucatan Peninsula, on the Eastern Coast of Mexico. We stayed in Akumal, a quiet and uncrowded town north of Tulum. The beach right outside our condo was was sandy with beautiful coral “stones” washed ashore. We snorkeled right off shore and saw brain corals, branching coral, sea fans and lovely tropical fish. Beautiful. There was a rocky point just down the beach with crashing waves and fossils of corals in the porous limestone. The textures were amazing. Definitely inspirational.
