Birding is excellent around the Cobá ruins and on the road to them. To get there take the same road that goes to the beaches of Tulum and go west instead of east. We often see toucans and parrots in flight at dusk on that road. There are marshes and wetlands near the ruins that have a lot of birds, fairly high jungle around them that have lots of tropical and migrant birds.
The reef is deeper along the beaches from south of the Tulum ruins to Sian Kaan preserve. So, more wave action after storms less fish close to the surface. Snorkeling is better in the bays with shallow reefs, these are usually closer to shore as well. Akumal Bay is excellent as is Half Moon Bay and most of the small bays south of Akumal to about Xel Ha. Some places to check out are Tankah (any of the 3), Soliman, San Francisco, Akumal Sur, Akumal Aventuras and the main Akumal Playa (continue to the left there after the arches to get to Half Moon Bay and Yal Ku lagoon).
