  Akumal Mexico—Place of the Turtle—where is it?
Akumal faces the Caribbean Sea on the east coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, roughly 100 kilometers (60 miles) south of Cancun Mexico. Akumal is the oldest resort town on the Caribbean coast of Mexico and began as a coconut plantation in the 1950s. The town was founded by Pablo Bush Romero in the 1960's as a Scuba divers' paradise and has since grown to become a beloved vacation town of travelers from all over the globe.
