Directions

A calm, family-friendly public beach near the ferry dock to Isla Mujeres, with relatively protected waters thanks to a small breakwater. It's one of the few spots in the Hotel Zone where the Caribbean is genuinely swimmable without strong currents. Bring your own gear or rent from nearby vendors; the beach itself has no facilities beyond a few food carts. It gets busy on weekends but rarely reaches the chaos of more famous stretches.
