The Beaches
Powder-soft sand, warm shallow water, and the world's second-largest reef right off the shore.
Puerto Morelos · Quintana Roo · México
A directory of Black-owned businesses, sacred cenotes, quiet beaches, and community for African American travelers finding home along the Mexican Caribbean.
Our Story
Black In Puerto Morelos is a living directory built by and for African Americans who've made — or are making — their way to this small fishing town on Mexico's Caribbean coast.
We show up here fully: as neighbors, entrepreneurs, healers, and travelers. We embrace México's land, its people, and its culture, while holding space for our own. This is a resource, a welcome, and a homecoming all at once.
Come as you are. Stay for the water. Return for the people.
The Land
Three ways to fall for Puerto Morelos — start with whichever calls you first.

Powder-soft sand, warm shallow water, and the world's second-largest reef right off the shore.

Sacred freshwater sinkholes carved through jungle limestone — cool, clear, and unforgettable.

A slow, colorful fishing village with taquerías, murals, and the leaning lighthouse that watches over it all.
The Directory
From wellness retreats to relocation coaching to the best pour in town — these are the folks holding it down along the coast.

Black to Mexico (“Where the Sun Knows Your Name”) guides Black people relocating to Mexico, pairing practical guidance — visas, budgets, neighborhoods, safety — with cultural and spiritual grounding.
Through the Soulful Migration course, one-on-one coaching, guided Discovery Tours in Quintana Roo, digital guides, and the Between Lands podcast, we help people arrive whole.
Honest guidance, never referral fees. We arrive. We remember. We build.

Restorative retreats grounded in African diasporic wellness practices, held oceanside beneath the Yucatán sun.

Orchestrating bold brand, web, and social designs for businesses ready to stand out.
