Coastal Protection in Puerto Morelos: revetments, geotubes, seawalls and dune restoration
We protect beachfront land in Puerto Morelos with an engineered approach: survey, soft solutions first (dunes, geotubes), rock revetments or seawalls only where they are needed, and works outside turtle season. Puerto Morelos mixes low-rise beachfront condos, villas north of the leaning lighthouse and the marina area, on a coast backed by the national reef park.
What We Do
Geotube Systems
Sand-filled geotextile tubes, buried in the dune, that act as a last line of defence.
Dune Restoration
Sand nourishment, sand fencing and native dune plants that rebuild the beach naturally.
Studies & Permits
Coastal studies, ZOFEMAT, SEMARNAT and turtle-season planning.
Protecting beachfront property in Puerto Morelos
Houses by the sea get salt and wind, while the jungle side is humid and shaded, so the same house type needs different paint, metal and garden specifications depending on the side of the highway. Every frontage is surveyed and compared with its neighbours, because coastal works that ignore the next lot usually fail.
Erosion, storms and permits in Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos has been its own municipality since 2016 and issues its own licences; the beach strip is under ZOFEMAT and the reef national park, and gated communities add HOA rules. Hurricane waves, sargassum and seasonal sand movement set the crest height, toe depth and material of each solution.
Water and utilities in Puerto Morelos
Town water reaches most of the coast, but jungle lots often depend on wells and cisterns, so filtration and storage are part of most bathroom and garden projects.
Materials, crews and access in Puerto Morelos
Puerto Morelos is about 30 minutes from our workshops and close to Cancún suppliers, so materials arrive quickly and crews can return daily.
