Punta Sur is a small private beachfront community located between Akumal and Tulum, directly across from the Tulum Country Club. After years working in this market and selling several properties in the area, it remains one of my favorite locations along this stretch of coastline.
The community is located about the same distance from Cancun International Airport and Tulum International Airport, which makes travel convenient for owners and guests. It is also about 25 minutes north of the Tulum hotel zone and roughly 30 minutes south of Playa del Carmen Centro, placing it in a very central location.
One of Punta Sur’s biggest advantages is the ocean conditions. The coastal currents in this area tend to push sargassum away from the shoreline, so the beachfront often has clearer water and wide open Caribbean views.
The immediate shoreline is mostly rocky, which helps keep the water clear. However, sandy beaches are only minutes away. Aventuras Akumal beach is about a five minute walk to the north, while Akumal Sur’s sandy shoreline is about five minutes to the south along the Akumal walking trail.
Another major benefit is infrastructure. Punta Sur is one of the few beachfront communities in the region with municipal water service, which is a significant advantage for long term ownership.
