Punta Maroma, Cape on Caribbean coast in Quintana Roo, Mexico.
Located at 20.7 degrees latitude and 86.9 degrees longitude, Punta Maroma extends into the Caribbean Sea with white sand beaches and coral reefs.
The area of Punta Maroma belonged to Maya settlements until the 16th century, when European contact led to demographic changes in the local population.
The native Melipona bee populations around Punta Maroma continue traditional honey production methods established by Maya communities centuries ago.
Punta Maroma sits 35 kilometers from Cancun International Airport and 10 kilometers northeast of Playa del Carmen, with several access points along the coast.
The beach strip of Punta Maroma maintains its natural state without direct construction, preserving the original coastal ecosystem of the Riviera Maya.
