Travel to Cancun: The best beaches in the Mexican Caribbean
1. Nice Beach
Crystal clear waters, the turquoise blue of the sea, soft white sand, along with a blue sky with few white clouds, are some of the characteristics that honor the name of this magical beach.
One of the main natural attractions of this spa is the Nichupté lagoon, which offers places of dense vegetation, in addition to the landscape of mangroves that will increase the showiness.
Playa Linda has an important advantage, and that is that throughout the beach, it is very easy to find accommodation with good hotels, good restaurants, and even places where you can take a boat ride, or take tours of the areas of interest. And the calm of its waves make it an excellent place to go with children.
2. Dolphin Beach
There are several advantages that Playa Delfines can offer you for your recreation, in addition to the beauty of its sand and the sea, the beach has numerous free umbrellas, so you can enjoy the scenery quietly.
Being Playa Delfines one of the most visited tourist destinations in Cancun, it is likely to have many visitors, however, this will not mean that it will be difficult to find a good place for you and your family, since the coast extends for at least 30 kilometres.
The waves can be strong or moderately strong, this being one of the reasons why several surfers come to this beach.
However, if you go to Playa Delfines with children, they can rest easy on the seashore.
There are two great natural attractions that the beach offers, the first gives rise to its name, since thanks to the conditions of the sea, dolphin sightings are very common.
The second is that the turtles arrive en masse to lay their eggs during the months from May to September, being able to see thousands of them around the beach.
3. Turtle Beach
With its many hotels, bars and restaurants around it, Tortuga Beach is a very lively place where the whole family can enjoy, thanks also to its peaceful waves that are ideal for small children and/or elderly people.
However, not only families will be able to enjoy the spa, since Tortuga Beach is well known for its nightlife, with numerous bars, discos and DJ's, who will play the best music offering you an excellent atmosphere.
Thanks to the calm of the sea, you can practice water sports, such as snorkeling or diving, having the opportunity to observe the beautiful marine fauna, such as turtles in their habitat; or the great Mesoamerican reef.
4. Lobster Beach
Langosta Beach is one of the most important tourist destinations in the Mexican Caribbean, with its extensive hotel zone, which is one of the largest in the area, and its paradisiacal landscapes with turquoise water and crystal-clear sand.
Like Playa Tortuga, the waves at Playa Langosta are very calm, so you can relax while the children play in the sea.
Several people come to this beach to practice kayaking, since the coast offers its visitors multiple options to practice this sport.
In addition to this, if you go to the Playa Langosta pier, you can take a ferry that will take you to the fun Isla Mujeres, or take a tour to see and/or swim with the dolphins.
5. Whale Beach
Tourists who prefer a beach away from the most popular places, with strong waves for surfing or other water sports, Playa Ballenas is the best option.
The wide sandy area that this beach has, will allow its visitors to find a good place to rest and observe the beautiful seascape.
As Playa Ballenas is located at a point further away from the tourist areas, the gastronomic offer is less than in other beaches, being the hotels in the area, the places that sell food and drinks on the spot.
Due to its strong waves, it is not recommended attending with children, since it can be dangerous for them.
6. Paradise Beach
Many consider Paraíso beach to be the best in all of Mexico and one of the best in the world, delighting thousands of tourists with its wonderful sea, which offers different shades of blue, giving the landscape the idyllic image of a Caribbean beach.
Playa Paraíso is located in Tulum, very close to the magical town that bears this name, so many visitors who go to the Mayan ruins or visit the nearby cenotes, go to Playa Paraíso to rest or snorkel.
Despite being a paradise located in an area of cultural heritage, this beach has all the services of tourism, such as restaurants where you can try Mexican cuisine, a good network of hotels and offers to visit different attractions in the area.
7. Blue Gull Beach
Gaviota Azul is one of the most visited beaches by young people, because there is never a lack of parties, music and fun on its shores, as well as having the best shopping centers nearby and being located in the heart of the Cancun hotel zone.
One of the advantages that Gaviota Azul beach offers its visitors is the waves that depending on the location, you can relax taking a sea bath, or practice water sports such as surfing.
The area of the beach where the waves are softer is near the breakwater, a perfect area to swim, relax in the sea or enjoy with the family.
For its part, the area that is in front of the shopping center is where you can practice surfing, paddleboarding, and even learn these sports in the schools that this area of the beach has.
One of the most beautiful attractions that Gaviota Azul beach offers is the viewpoint that is located in the southern area of the beach, from which you can appreciate all the majesty of the beach and the beautiful Caribbean Sea.
