Must say it's the best public beach in the Hotel Zone. It's not very big but not a lot of people go there. The water is quite calm and can be enjoyed as there are small waves, as opposed to playa delfines where the waves can be extremely rough and somewhat dangerous. It was also very clean and past 5 p.m. the buildings give shadow. There is also some public bathrooms and showers at the entrance of the beach.

Lovely public beach, very easily accessible by bus. There's no umbrellas or sunbeds to rent but we didn't mind. The beach is very wide and usually not too crowded. We were always able to find a spot without too many people in the water around us. The water is absolutely beautiful here. We saw the ocean being completely calm and also wavy, so you get the best of both. They rent jet skis on this beach too if you're interested. Bathrooms and showers are located right by the entrance.

While in Cancun we prefered going to Playa chac-mool over the other beaches available. Actually we went every chance we had. We felt safe and secure there. It is a very clean beach. Both the water and the sand are very clean. The sand is very fine and almost powdery. There were small areas where the sargasso was floating about. However the ocean current and waves moved it out of the way fairly quickly. There was some sargasso at the water's edge. But after the water's edge, the sand was very clean. The waves were from 6" to 2' tall and the water color was amazing. The public restrooms at the entrance point are decently clean for both the men's and women's side. They also have a family restroom available. And showers are available to rinse off. The trash collection points are repeatedly emptied out. With both empty aluminum cans and plastics separated for recycling. All the beaches in Mexico prohibit glass containers of any kind. So only aluminum and plastic containers are allowed. There are people present who strictly enforce that rule, so beware. A life guard was present everyday up to 5 pm. The beach is a sea turtle nesting site which had an area where turtle eggs were incubating in the sand. It was fenced off and everyone respected the boundary. Public transportation is available from Cancun Centro, through the Hotel Zone and back. However parking is dificult if you have your own vehicle. The public parking areas are small and fill up quickly. It's best to get to this beach early if you want to park for free. And they close at 4 pm so you must remove your car or risk having it chained in with padlock overnight....for free. There is also parking under Chac-Mool mall which is right by the beach entrance point. There is a small parking fee. But If you are carrying coolers and a lot of gear, it is best to drop that off with your team, then go park your vehicle after. There is also some street parking available but these are far and few and could get your vehicle towed. An OXXO is located at the beach entrance point which is very convinient. Plastic beach tables, chairs and umbrellas are available for a fee. And are only set out when paid for. Not left out all day covering every available space on the beach like it's done on playa Norte in Isla Mujeres. Which forces everyone to rent the chairs if they want to spend time on that beach. On weekdays the beach was fairly quiet. There was some music but it was kept mostly at low volume. On those days you can clearly hear the ocean and enjoy the other sounds of nature. The ocean's smell was pleasant and not overwhelming. This is a family beach where couples come to spend time together. Kids play in the sand and in the water. It's where families and friends come to enjoy their time. Peace and quiet for the most part is respected. On the weekend the ambiance of this beach is different. It is packed and there are many music sources that are kept at high volumn. There is also a lot of drinking. It becomes a party beach and there is a lot of "people watching" going on. Very similar to the beaches close to Coco bongo and Señor frogs. Over-all we all enjoyed this beach and highly recomend it any day of the week.

My number 1 💙💙💙

Top beach in cancun. Public bathroom no toilet seat no toilet paper no running water in 10pesos but it is there. Also showers to rinse off. Great beach if you enter here and walk north. You get to listen to the music for free. I also recommend as the sun sets and the beach falls into shade walking north past the big rock towards coco bongo and beyond- up by the break water (big pile of rocks at the northernmost point of the beach). This area has the sun the longest and is the BEST place to swim in cancun due to the breakwater.

Beautiful clear water, and clean beach (there's seaweed here and there but not overwhelming). I went early in the morning around 8:30AM and there was basically no one on the beach yet just a few people walking. So amazing and relaxing. I loved it! Would not recommend going towards the evening or at night there were a lot of people on the beach smoking and drinking so beware.

Lots of public parasols, and the waves are very nice here as well. The water color also for whatever reason seems nicer here than anywhere else on the coast.

A beach with no sargassum 💙

So clear and clean. Beautiful

Beautiful beach with lots of amenities without being crowded, one of the highlights of my stay in Cancun Chill atmosphere, clean sand, clear water. Lifeguards, benches, shaded areas, washrooms, showers and parking all available for free. Great staff, do leave a little tip for their hard work. Safe environnement, the police even take selfies here to show they are working!

Great beach, sand is perfect. Just some seaweed in some places but its not overwhelming at all and is spotty so it is easy to avoid!

Really beautiful place, but it smells “fishy”. There is a lot of mouvement there and loud music

💙💙💙

This is a very nice beach, but the views aren't as nice as on the other side of Forum

Amazing beach, there are lifeguards, bathroom and showers...

It’s very touristy and there’s a decent amount of seaweed but still beautiful. Excellent turquoise water and white sand

Lovely public beach! Not too busy at all. Umbrellas for rent if you want.
