The main features of these two places are beauty and tranquility. If you are fortunate to be
vacationing in either place, you will understand why there’s so little for me to write! Just
lie down and soak it all up!
Only 10 minutes drive south of Akumal and 10 minutes north of Tulum, is Soliman Bay, also
known as Punta Soliman. Like Tankah, this protected bay offers you peace and tranquility away
from the hordes in Playa del Carmen and Tulum. Houses and palapas pepper the coastline and in
the evenings, all locals head to the legendary
Oscar and Lalos. This bar restaurant, which is
located on the beach, serves lots and lots of fresh seafood, and offers diving trips and
fishing charters. Stay as long as you like as there are plenty of hammocks and a shaded palapa
with comfortable couches.
When you visualize a tropical paradise you may conjure up images of past Corona commercials,
if so, there is a very good chance you are imaging Soliman Bay. Because this is the place! A
secluded bay where gentle waves crash upon the coral reef and sooth you senses you won't be
disappointed if you make the journey here – relax, have a drink on the sandy beach or rent a
kayak and explore the bay. There are also walking trails here which meander through mangroves
and offer some of the best birdwatching around.
ankah is a small bay protected by coral reef. It is perfect for snorkeling and kayaking.
Manatee Cenote is right across from the beach. This fresh water cenote is cool and refreshing
on a hot summer day. An underground river runs into Tankah Bay, just in front of Casa Cenote
you can snorkel and see where the fresh water meets the salt water.
This area has become very popular over the last few years and construction has been booming.
Where, not too long ago, there was an almost empty bay, there are now lovely villas
surrounding the shore.
