Best places: Beaches in Mexico

Scenic, serene white-sand beach with clear water popular for snorkeling & photography.

Blue Flag golden sandy beach with showers & restrooms, popular for snorkeling, swimming & basking.

👍👍 Great family beach. I liked it better than Santa Maria just because the waves are a bit calmer for kids and the sand is soft. At Santa Maria the sand is very coarse and rough. The waves are still rough and you still have to be very careful and have an adult with them, in my opinion, but this is as c...

👍👍 BEST beach on the island! We rented an umbrella and chairs near the piers for only $10! Also includes drinks and food service. Beautiful water and perfect sand. We also went to Norte but Centro is much better! Also, DJ playing "dance party" songs is right behind you if you are near the dock area. We...

Large beach with strong waves that make it a popular destination for surfers from around the world.

Accessible by boat tour, this secluded beach cove offers water sports, dining & entertainment.

👍👍 Great and very safe place. You can get into the water and walk for 500mts without sink its like Big natural pool not even waves. There are public restrooms where you can take a shower or use the toilete always clean and the guy that attend IS very friendly

👍👍 You've got it all at San Pancho beach. In the middle you've got the umbrellas and chairs for rent with food and drink service. To the right side it gets more empty while you walk past villas and there is also an (expensive) beach club. We preferred to walk all the way to the left close to the roc...

Lengthy sand beach with a popular nudist section plus hotels, restaurants & souvenir vendors.

😐 Important things to know: 1. There is constant construction noise that echoes through the bay. You cannot escape it. There will be no realaxing to the sound of the ocean if that was your plan. Just a constant jack hammer noise. It looks like they are developing the entire mountain side, and bea...

Long, sandy coastline backed by resort hotels, with tidal pools around jagged rocks & strong waves.

👍👍 Amazing beach with a ton of friendly restaurants and bars. We drove there and the bar owners all try and get you to park at their bars. We parked at a place called the Puma, had a few beers and super delicious lunch. A day well spent!!

👍👍 Such a beautiful beach with great waves and some trees at the back for shade. You can park at the gas station and get drinks/snacks from oxxo as there’s nothing at the beach. The food at Makai near the parking is also excellent. There’s a 10 minute walking trail to the beach which is super easy in t...

Small sheltered sandy bay backed by jungle, with a kiosk selling coconut water & beer.

Unassuming gold-sand beach offering swimming & sunbathing, plus nearby eateries.

👍👍 Great beach for swimming, lounging, and playing in mellow waves. I visited over New Year's and it was somewhat crowded but never insane. Pretty much anytime other than christmas/new year's/semana santa I imagine it would be perfect. Can rent and an umbrella and 2 chairs for about 200 mxn/day with so...

👍👍 White sand beach. Shallow, warm water. Depends on the day. Some days there is sargasso. Some days no sargasso at all. But very little amount compared to other beaches in Yucatán. It can be very windy in the afternoon. The tour to the spring is not worth it. Expensive for a short distance to...

👍 Quiet and clean, this beach is lovely but there’s lots of nibbling fish.
