Pinching Pesos in the Riviera Maya

Sandcastles are always free - MayanHoliday.com
Traveling on a budget? Try these free and fun activities:
• Take free salsa lessons Tuesday and Thursday at 7 PM at La Bodequita del Medio.
• Walk along the interpretive nature trail at the back of the parking lot of the Las Palapas hotel.
• Visit the Xaman-Ha ruins in Playacar, just south of the Playacar Palace hotel.
• Head to the beach and build a sandcastle in the shape of the great pyramid at Chichén Itzá.
• Get up early to watch the sun rise over the Caribbean. Some people like it even more than watching a sunset.
• Take advantage of the free appetizer/drink coupons offered by many restaurants along Quinta in Playa del Carmen.
• Stroll the park across from the municipal building and learn to count in Mayan from the educational displays.
• Grab your snorkel and take a dip in Manatee Cenote, across from Blue Sky Resort in Tankah.
• Join the locals for a street party in Cozumel, complete with live music, each Sunday evening in the town square.
• Snorkel the protected cove at Akumal Bay and see moray eels, stingrays, and barracuda lurking in the shallows.
