Puerto Morelos

Puerto Morelos (Spanish pronunciation:) is a municipality, town, and seaport in Quintana Roo, Mexico's easternmost state, on the Yucatán Peninsula. The town is located in the northeast of the state, about 36 km (22 mi) south of the resort city of Cancún, and about 30 km (19 mi) north of the city of Playa del Carmen.

Puerto Morelos merged with the village of Leona Vicario on December 6, 2015, to form the municipality of Puerto Morelos, the 11th municipality in Quintana Roo, separating from its former municipality of Benito Juárez.

Puerto Morelos is a small coastal village with two main roads running along the shoreline. The village includes a variety of tourist-oriented shops, restaurants, and cafés. Despite its modest size, it offers a relatively wide range of amenities for both residents and visitors.
