Places to run at Pearl?

Postby CgyCpl » Thu Feb 14, 2013 10:48 am

Hi all,

We're planning our first trip to Pearl in March. My question to the group is, is there a 'safe' place to run at Pearl? I know that I'll be on vacation, but for me, running is an activity I really enjoy doing, especially when on vacation. I have run on beaches before, but prefer flatter surfaces. The beach always slopes towards the water - hard on your gait. :CAN

We were at the Pearl in October 2nd time
The beach is safe and is nicer than the one at RM
. Lots of folks walking to town and jogging in the morning.

Also the road out front is good, go out front door turn left and run into puerto moreles, then return by running back on the beach - so you are only running on the sloped sand for part of the time. Felt very safe, great little town.

For anyone else asking the same question, I ran on both the beach and the road while there. I ran on the beach only the first couple of days, and found that the slope was too steep; or if I ran up a bit higher, then the sand got in my shoes. Bottom line is, I didn't care for running on the beach.

The road was fine though. I ran north towards the other resorts, and as posted by twomuch, I felt perfectly safe. I mostly ran 4 miles (out and back), and ran every day we were there. Had to go early though - too late and it was hot. Regardless how breezy it was on the beach, hardly any breeze on the road.
