CANNONS ON THE BEACH AT AKUMAL

Cannons on the beach at Akumal Bay

The locally famous ship wreck is the Matanceros. The most notable recovered artifacts from the wreck are its cannons, several of which point out to sea at the entrance to Akumal Bay.
The Frigate was sailing near the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan on February 22, 1741 
when it crashed into the coral reefs just offshore.
