Beach Walks

Walking from Villa Del Mar you can walk the beach for miles in either direction.  To the right a nice walk is to walk into the town of Puerto Morelos, have a drink or something to eat at one of the many restaurants and then to walk back.  Wearing a hat, particularly in the midday sun is recommended.
 
From Villa Del Mar going left you can walk around the peninsula to an area with hundreds of sea shells (the story is that they were washed up during a storm).  If you continue to walk you will come upon a large scuba diving outfit, an  Italian Resort and then a Canadian resort where you might want to stop for a bite or a drink before walking back.

Snorkeling

You can go snorkeling on your own right in front of Villa Khan the reef is about 200 yards offshore making an easy swim.  However unless you are experienced with the reef we suggest that you go out with one of the tours with experienced guides in the town of Puerto Morelos.  You can take a two-hour snorkeling tour of the Palancar reef for around $20 USD.  There are several snorkel/dive shops located in Puerto Morelos.  Well worth the experience.
