What to do and see in Cancun, Quintana Roo: The Best Nature & Parks

July 5, 2021 Harland Bartelt

Sunny Cancun has much more to offer than its party-town reputation might suggest. Plenty of gorgeous, drama-free family resorts cater to folks who want to experience the tropical Yucatan climate. There are significant Mayan ruins here, such as El Rey and the Yamil Lu’um, a crumbling tower of pale gray stone. Learn more about this ancient civilization at the Museo Maya de Cancun. For a literal taste of Mexico, take a tour of the Museo Sensorial del Tequila.

We think it is the most beautiful beach in Cancún. The water is nice and the sand is without small stones and seaweed.

This beach is very close to the Torre Escénica, on the northern side of the hotel strip. Almost no waves, great for kids and people afraid of the sea. The beach is clean and you can access it even if you are not staying in any of the hotels around.

This scenic beach is pretty to look at, but watch out in the water: the undercurrents can make it a dangerous place to swim.

If you are tired of the standard beaches along the Hotel Zone, visit Playa Delfines, a beautiful and very large beach with fine sand and slightly intense waves located near El Rey archaeological zone. Here, you can rent chairs and beach umbrellas as well as bring your own drinks and snacks. You will also find bathrooms, showers, "palapas" and parking lot, all these services totally free. Here you will also find a beautiful wooden lookout with the colorful "Cancún" sign that appears on many of the city´s postcards and brochures.

Playa Marlin

Lounge on the smooth, white, broad stretch of sand of this beach while gazing at the often rugged surf.

Reviewed By robertsN2079DL

There’s always plenty of beach available to enjoy an entire day there. Plaza Kukulcan makes it a convenient public beach with easy access to a good variety of food and drinks at reasonable prices. Yes, having to rent chairs and a beach umbrella can be one downside, but waves are perfect there and beach is worth it.
