    This beach is just amazing! The blues in the crystal clear water are incomparable and the area is clean, well kept, with lots of room and shade!! There’s a beautiful Look-out and playground. They charge to use the washrooms. The waves can be pretty serious here. Super fun for good swimmers but I wouldn’t bring my littles here for water fun.

    Very pretty beach. It’s small but clean and has cafes and bathrooms there. There are chairs available with umbrellas for an extra cost.

    Another Beach at the north Part of Cancun. I did Not sunbathe here, just spent a few time for "exploring" the area. It was cloudy day, Not the best for a beach day.🌍☁️🐦🦋

    As part of a Trip to Cancun , we spent some time at this Beach langosta. The difference to other beaches is that the water is here shallow, maybe too shallow.

    Beautiful beach, clean and clear water. Very warm, with waves you can get out of the wind and swim in calm water over by the breakwater. Sand was a bit dirty with rubbish. Otherwise lots of people enjoying the beach, quite a lot of space available, we were there on a Sunday. Few options of food (just off the beach) and beach clubs.

    Absolutely beautiful aqua water. Lots of waves. Coral underfoot when initially entering the water. Be careful! Umbrellas for rent at 400 pesos. No chairs.
    Loved this beach.

    While the other beaches were filled with seaweed, we came here for a perfect swim. There’s no shade on the beach so bring an umbrella if you want shade.

    Great beach. It is directly behind Coco Bongo night club. There is a small access road next to Coco Bongo that leads to the beach. Blue clear waters. No amenities/chairs/umbrellas, etc. Worth visiting. There are some nice rocks/boulders that make for great pictures above the water. Take a few water bottles and pack some snacks if you plan to stay there long. I would definitely go back to this beach in Cancun.

    Perhaps since it was new years day, it wasn't as busy as it might normally be, but all in all we had an amazing experience there today. We weren't staying at the hotel, so upon entry, you need to stop at the concierge and give them your ID, which they keep a copy of, and give you a wristband. If you want to use a daybed, there is a $600 MX minimum spend per person (~$30.00 USD), which is an incredible deal. If you want a daybed like this in a Vegas or Miami dayclub, you're literally paying hundreds or thousands of USD as a minimum. Drinks and food are super reasonable and the server was friendly and efficient. We only had a couple drinks each so hadn't met the $60.00 minimum for the 2 of us, which I wasn't concerned about but the server insisted we get our moneys worth and insisted on bringing us more drinks, sealed bottles of water, or food to get the full value. Music was fantastic and the crowd was great. All in all a 5* experience!

    If you in town and want to bathe this is the closest beach. It's quite small, but has some shades.The sand is white like all beaches in Cancun, and of course there is a life guard.

    Playa Caracol. Easy access and quiet beach. And it's the way to see the lighthouse. But very small and has many sun loungers from hotels.

    Nice area. Great balance between sand, water and green space. Lots to see and explore if just laying out on the sand is not your thing.
