a week agoIt's one of my favorite beaches because it's like a giant swimming pool. I love it because you get the best underwater photos. It has the most beautiful blue water. If you want to enjoy the beach all to yourself, go in the morning around 8 am. There's no shade, so you have to bring your own umbrella. The nearest store is the 7-Eleven at the entrance. It's worth going all the way to the end of the breakwater. It's a beautiful beach! 🤩

2 weeks agoBy far the best beach in Cancun. Beautiful sand, even though the surf was a bit rough when I saw it. I walked along the beach from Coco Bongo to the northern point where the breakwater is. It was the most beautiful beach for me and my family. The only thing I didn't like was the lack of shade and palapas. You have to bring your own umbrella if you don't want to get bad sunburns like we did. We arrived at the worst possible time: midday, and we really regretted it. In the end, we rented an umbrella; they rent them for $500. The best beach of all the ones I visited, despite having a little bit of sargassum.
