    This is a beautiful beach area with some fun snorkeling. It’s a free beach, there are shopping and food options. Access to the Ferry to Isla Mujeres, ⛴ and Catamarans. Bus stop located there. We would go down and around the rock area where additional beach is and spreading out of people! Enjoy!

    Best public beach so far in Cancun. The beach is small and the locals come here with their families but was not too crowded. Nice restaurants and bars

    Small hill near the beach. Bungee Jump and other actions happens here... After done with Langosta beach, we headed towards Tortugas beach. It is 2 km far from Langosta beach towards south and more knowns for Isla Mujeres ferry and Bungee Jumping. While entering the beach, lots of restaurant staff will bother you to use their service. As this is a very small beach with one small hill, not much area to explore, we decided to sit in one restaurant. I am not sure of even name of the restaurant. we ordered their mango margarita, local beer and their catch of the day fish. Fish was great and so was their mango margarita. Beach- as I said, there is not much are to explore, I was wondering why people even swimming on this beach with so less space. There was one pier where bungee jumping was happening. Also, Isla Mujeres ferry departs from here. Can come for actions but not for a swim.

    Public beach where you can spend the day at. Several restaurants and bars around the area. Sometimes, the shoreline might get covered with seaweeds tho but I think it just depends on what month or season you're visiting. Could also get really crowded as it is open to everyone. The bathrooms are not free. There are also activities you can do like bungee jumping and parasailing.

    It's a beautiful beach. We came here on Dec 29. The temperature was 72 degrees. Not really beach weather, but I really enjoyed the breeze and the scenery.

    Slept on this awesome public beach for a week in January 2022 and 2 weeks in February of the same year. Close to all amenities and very safe. The Marina walked by twice a day and were very friendly. The entire vibe is awesome. Met a lot of great people.

    The beach is not the cleanest, and most importantly, the coastline and the water are full of algae - Sargasso. In some places it is simply impossible to swim, because. legs get tangled in seaweed. There are small swimming areas in the water, and there is algae there too. And we also came to swim at sunset, when there was no one on the sunbeds, i.e. we would not interfere with the hotel guests. But the hotel staff made us take our beach bag with towels off the sun loungers and put them on the sand, because, according to this person, only those who paid for the hotel can use the sunbeds. Awful, there was no one, but the hotel staff fundamentally refused to simply put our towel on the sunbed. There were also no places to change clothes.

    Great beach during the day. Don’t trust Google maps for the location. It’s actually about another 3km south. Food and music available on beach but the views aren’t great due to boats and tourists catamarans parked just off the beach.

    This beach was really nice, the water was so blue and the temperature was so nice. I went in March. There’s a lot to do here; Jet skiing, bungee jumping, restaurants, and booze cruises. There was only one issue I had, walking to the beach it smelled FOUL. You just have to walk past it and hold your nose and the smell dissipates. Other than that, I highly recommend this beach!

    relatively uncrowded. decent off shore snorkeling. clear yet kind of cloudy waters. free (?) seats with umbrella behind ocean spa hotel. this is a cute lil public beach between many boat docks. i was debating between a 4 and 5 star rating, and decided to go with 4. while this is a nice beach, it isn’t absolutely breath taking like some others.

    Don't go here for the beach, all seaweed, and boats. This is more of a boating launch beach than a swimming beach. Go further down on the hotel zone for a nice beach. We came here and there was virtually no place to actually swim, and unsurprisingly no one using the beach 🤣.

    The beach is not in the place marked on maps. There is a private sort of beach with a marina in this place with bad conditions for swimming. Delphine's is the only proper public beach we found in Cancun

    Not a public beach any more. We spent 30minutes to find an access. After the second time asking a security guard he let us through and asked us to turn right to enter the public area. But there was none. Only private hotel sections. We didn‘t even liked to stay there after we were on the beach. Sea weed was there as well. You should definitely prioritise Plaja Delphines.

    Water not clear at all, dirty and not organised, we even found a huge dead turtle in the water.. good for some pictures but a bit disappointing

    Smaller beach I’ve ever seen, everything around it is privatized, so the only publicly accessible area you have is a tiny stretch that even lacks sand, with a shady entrance

  • 5/5 Antonio T. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice place but dirty no services all the bathrooms and shwers are closed!

  • 2/5 Krysta W. 1 year ago on Google
    I went here based on the reviews so let me give a real one. This is a ferry station on the beach. There's a restaurant and hotel nearby. There's really not enough space on the beach to have a view. I wouldn't go here again. The seaweed is really stinky here.

  • 1/5 simon s. 1 year ago on Google
    Not public private only and the public side sucks absolutely tiny busy and full of rocks hardly any sand

  • 5/5 Rory L. 2 years ago on Google
    Beautiful beach area. Somewhat crowded with locals swimming. Weather was nice and the ferry arrived promptly. Easy to board and cross over to Isla Mujeres.

    Prices are extremely inflated. Waiter tried to charge 2.50 us for a bottle of water. Views are beautiful and so are the activities!!

👍 Cool, more of a local beach. Might get harassed by some locals. Really cool, small beach bars though. Cool area among the rocks to swim. Cool activities like bungie jumping. There's ferries/boats in and out of here and some souvenir shopping too .....cool 😅

👍👍 The only public beach in the hotel zone. The beach is beautiful and they have free umbrellas if you find one empty and you can rest. I so love the color of the sea it’s much more nice and astonishing to see in person then in the photos. There is also a CANCUN sign beside the road parking lot people...
