Mexico's Best Beaches & Resorts

Mexico's diverse coastline spans the turquoise Caribbean Sea and the rolling Pacific surf. This selection features Cancun’s vibrant Hotel Zone beaches like Playa Chac Mool and Playa Delfines, alongside the reef-protected waters of Cozumel’s Palancar Reef. Further south, the list includes the expansive seven-kilometer stretch of Tulum and the secluded turtle nesting grounds of Xcacel. On the Pacific side, find the steep-walled cove of Playa Carrizalillo in Oaxaca and the lively atmosphere of Rosarito Beach in Baja California.

Located in Cancun’s Hotel Zone, this beach features open sea conditions with strong currents and waves suitable for surfing. It offers a quieter alternative to neighboring beaches while maintaining deep turquoise water and white sand.

Beach of the Dead

Don't be afraid of the name. It's a beautiful and busy beach, perfect for hours of swimming and glorious sunbathing.

Forum Beach

Situated at the heart of Cancun's nightlife district, this beach features a large stone breakwater that creates a calm, pool-like swimming area. It is characterized by its proximity to major beach clubs and its high-energy atmosphere.

Playa Paraiso

Located just south of the Tulum archaeological site, this wide beach is known for its iconic leaning palm tree and soft white sand. The shallow, calm waters are protected by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef.

Tulum Beach

Seven kilometres long sandy beach never gets crowded - it's too vast for that. A perfect getaway.

Xcacel Beach

The still undeveloped beach is rather hard to get to - but totally worth it! An amazing, secluded retreat.
