You do not need to go far to find the next stunning Cancun beach. The brave few can try some bungee jumping from the tower, admire the amazing views before taking the plunge! The not-so-brave can just relax on a deckchair under an umbrella, sip a cocktail and admire the fabulous views from the ground. Lovers of water sports can explore the beautiful marine life while snorkling close to the shore or venture further out to the Great Mesoamerican Coral Reef for some serious diving. Be prepared for a fun and festive atmosphere with locals and tourists soaking up the sun, swimming, playing volleyball and jumping off the long pier to show-off! The water is shallow and warm, ideal for families with kids or for elderly people. The beach is open at all hours and there is no entrance fee. It is located about 5 miles from downtown Cancun and is easily reached by taxi or bus. If you are looking for the best all-round Cancun beach for swimming, diving and local entertainment, Playa Tortugas, or Turtle Beach, is the beach to visit.

A fabulous restaurant and bar called Senor Frogs is over the road and is a buzzing venue where you can chill out and enjoy an exotic drink with a plate of traditional nachos and quesadillas. Then relax on the beach and soak up the sun. Enjoy a walk along the shore, the north side offers a rocky section with interesting rock pools and shells to collect. Swimming is great if there is not too much wind, but take note of the naturally occurring currents. Because it faces the open ocean, waves are found and are perfect for surfers. This Cancun beach is extremely popular with both locals and tourists and offers clean white sand and stunning turquoise waters. It gets its name from the famous Columbian stone statue of a mysterious figure in a reclining position holding a bowl on its stomach. Playa Chac Mool is located on the northern end of the famous boulevardĬlose to the main hotels.

If you have a head for heights, take a trip with the Skyrider Parasailing company. Take note of the signs regarding the water conditions, there are sometimes strong undertows. Relax under the little thatch huts and admire the stunning views. When you arrive you will be charmed by the large colorful sign that reads 'Cancun' in huge three-dimensional letters, each one almost the height of a person! Make sure you get some photos. The sand here is darker and courser than the other beaches and the water has waves great for surfing and bodyboarding. This beach is one of the few with a public car park so you can drive down in your rented car and park with no trouble. Looking for a quiet Cancun beach? Head down to the southern end of the Hotel Zone and you will find the lovely Playa Delfines.
