Sian Kaan Biosphere beaches Quintana Roo, Mexico
Sian Kaan Biosphere beaches- a continuation of the Tulum beaches, extending south to Punta Allen
Raw and natural, the Sian Ka'an Biosphere Reserve is a 1.3 million acre wilderness area with miles of remote uninhabited beaches. Some are placid and protected while others are exposed and turbulent. All are spectacular in their own way. The coastal coconut road south of the Tulum ruins (Boca Paila road) is the primary access, leading to the stone archway some 4 miles south of the ruins. This is also the road to Punta Allen with the Caribbean on one side and an expansive mangrove waterway on the other. There are virtually no services here so bring along what you need for the day like water, snacks, hat and sunglasses. It is always good advice to not take anything of value that you won't need when visiting any remote area on the coastline. There is a check point at the arch where you must stop and register. After your visit, be sure and take your trash with you when you leave. Use good judgment and enjoy...  To read more about Sian Kaan lakes click here.
