Best beaches in Quintana Roo
Mexico's Coastal Gems
Quintana Roo’s coastline offers diverse marine environments, from the car-free streets and shallow waters of Isla Holbox on the north coast to the expansive sands of Playa Delfines in Cancun. Further south, the seven-kilometer stretch of Tulum Beach provides a vast expanse of white sand near ancient Mayan sites. For those seeking seclusion, the undeveloped Xcacel Beach remains a protected sanctuary. Offshore, the Palancar Reef near Cozumel forms part of the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park, featuring significant coral formations and biodiversity.
A Holbox Island
Holbox is an island in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located on the north coast of the Yucatán Peninsula.
B Dolphin Beach
A vast, still and very popular beach. Luckily, with its size, there's enough space for everyone.
C Tulum Beach
Seven kilometres long sandy beach never gets crowded - it's too vast for that. A perfect getaway.
D Xcacel Beach
The still undeveloped beach is rather hard to get to - but totally worth it! An amazing, secluded retreat.
E Palancar Reef
Palancar Reef is a large coral reef on the southwest side of the island of Cozumel and is part of the Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park.
