MUSA — Punta Nizuc

Punta Nizuc holds MUSA's shallow gallery, placed where glass-bottom boats and snorkelers can hover over the art without tanks. Pieces sit just beneath the surface — hands raised from the sand, a ring of figures, small domes built as fish shelters — softened now by algae, sponge, and juvenile reef fish. Serious divers should point their tanks at Manchones instead, but as a first face-to-face with the museum idea, or a no-gear afternoon for traveling companions, this corner earns its place; on calm winter days the light on the statues is lovely.
