2. Visit Casa Cenote which is actually in Tankah just north of Tulum. Take the Tankah Tres exit off the highway. Mention "Casa Cenote" to the guards at the guard shack and they'll let you in. Casa Cenote is the name of the cute little restaurant across the road from the cenote. It's a nice place to grab a refreshment. Tankah Bay is just beautiful. An offshore reef, at the entrance to the bay, provides a very calm surface and gentle waves.
