👍 Beautiful beach with with a mild coolness when you first go in and then it's a perfect temperature. Must advise that most beaches in this area of Cancun have strong tides that can easily pull you out into deep water. Don't ever go out to far as their isn't many lifeguards at all locations. I was ama... People often mention beach, public, Beautiful,

    Beautiful beach with with a mild coolness when you first go in and then it's a perfect temperature. Must advise that most beaches in this area of Cancun have strong tides that can easily pull you out into deep water. Don't ever go out to far as their isn't many lifeguards at all locations. I was amazed at how fast the sand in the water shifts and you have nothing to stand on ever if you're about 6 feet. They need more lifeguards watching all areas and the waves can change quickly which I found out the hard way. Still a beautiful beach with Caribbean water, but can bite you if you go out to far.

    One of the few public beaches along zona hoteleria. The entrance is unmarked. A narrow path leads to a public area approximately 150x150 meters, between 2 hotels. Nearly empty at sunrise with just a few walkers. Sargasso is all along the beach of course so beware.. pretty good surf break would be dangerous fun on a boogie board or surf board. ;)

    BEST PLACE FOR SUNSET PHOTOS (DOGS ON LEASH ARE ALLOWEDđŸ€«đŸ€«đŸ€«đŸ€« not many people know aboutt it) just make sure you clean after your pet. This beach is one of the few beaches with parking in the street and a personal entrance right straight to the beach. Although during the seaweed season it gets pretty bad, it's still a fun place to come and play with the waves. ****BEWARE**** EVEN IF YOUR A PROFFESIONAL SWIMMER, DON'T BE OVERCONFIDENT WITH THE WAVES. WE HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE NEARLY DROWN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THE WAVES WERE NOT BAD. Over all, it is a fun place to come have a good time.

    I loved this beach because it’s in the hotel zone, but no noise, there’s free parking, no one trying to sell you anything and not crowded. Great place to chill and enjoy the beach, note that I’ve only been there on a week day.

    Beautiful beach. I actually stumbled upon it when looking for another attraction, it was so worth it. The sand was absolutely beautiful and the water felt amazing. Should definitely take a visit there whenever you get the chance.

    It’s an awesome place!! Not suitable for children, as the waves are very strong. But it is an amazing spot!!!

    Beautiful public beach in the touristic zone! Beautiful water & no algae. Very few people drunk the week.

    Can't believe I didn't know about this beach, even when I lived in CancĂșn. One of the best kept secrets in the Zona Hotelera. Not only that, but it's one of the VERY few pet-friendly beaches in all of CancĂșn and Playa del Carmen, which is fantastic. Surf can be a bit rough especially during the winter months which can be nice if you enjoy boogie boarding or surfing, not so good for swimming and there was no lifeguard in sight.

    Playa San Miguelito is a gorgeous public beach in CancĂșn, Mexico. It is truly beautiful and you can access through hotel zone in CancĂșn. I recommend to take a taxi, not a lot of public parking or if you rent a car, just arrive early and park on San Miguelito avenue. This is truly a gorgeous beach and you get the perks of being in a nice beach as the high end all inclusive hotels. Make sure to visit when you are in CancĂșn. You will enjoy it and will keep coming back. One more thing to note, thee is no sin shade, bring your own umbrella or come equipped with lots sun blocker. Cheers!! #chicosreviews76

    This is basically the Hotel Zone beach without a big hotel behind you. Absolutely loved this place, the sea is a beautiful mixture of greens and blue’s. Doesn’t get busy in the week and on the weekends when it does get a bit busier there is plenty of room. If you are planning a day then take an umbrella or bits with you as it is just a beach and nothing else there. Exactly what I wanted :)

    Basically it's a nice, pet friendly beach with enough space and no 30-story hotels around. We just got a bad day because there were strong winds (coming from east). There are some places to park for free but it's better if you get there by the R2 bus.

    Pet friendly beach. The place is regularly clean so please bring you trash bag. The dunes are nice to set a beach umbrella. There's a oxxo kinda near which is great if you miss something

    Beautiful but as others have noted be very cautious in the waters. The currents get crazy, if the waters aren't calm stay close to shore. Riptide caught me off guard and almost drowned me and my daughter. Scary.

    Super low-key beach access, less crowded. Blue ocean white sand 👌

    Overrated Stream is strong af Lots of couples in "romantic nights" There's a teepee dinner service, that's why

    Beautiful beach. Mostly locals go to this public beach. You need to bring your own drinks and chairs. There is no services. No bathroom
