TANKAH

Located just south of Soliman Bay, between Akumal and Tulum, is Tankah. This place is another gem along the Riviera Maya. Lined with gorgeous little vacation homes, Tankah bay is a great place to snorkel, not just in the bay, where the reef is close to the shore, but also in Cenote Manatee, a natural swimming pool which lies directly behind Casa Cenote restaurant. The crystalline waters slowly flow out from the caves, beneath the mangrove, which surround the cenote, and then through the pool and out a natural tunnel that passes under the restaurant and comes out in a large hole in the bay just in front of Casa Cenote. Truly an incredible work of nature!
