Beach
Walks
Walking from Casa Bella 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 Casa Bella 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 Casa Bella 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. For additional information click

There are rides into the jungle as well as on the beach. Another trip goes only into the jungle, includes lunch and a swim in a cenote (fresh water spring) and costs $75USD per person for half day. There is no place to rent horses and ride by oneself. You can sign up for trips at the travel agency in Puerto Morelos.
Sport Fishing
