Hotels have yet to dominate this small section of coastline, and there’s an incredible lookout over the […]

Playa Caracol (Snail Beach) (Blvd. Kukulcan, Km. 9.5, Zona Hotelera, Cancún) — the last “real” beach along the east-west stretch of the Zona Hotelera, is near Plaza Caracol and the Xcaret dock.

Nichupté Lagoon — You’ll find sophisticated French, Italian and Mexican cuisine at the beachfront resorts and low-key restaurants on Nichupté Lagoon.

Playa Ballenas (Blvd. Kukulcan, Km. 14.5, Zona Hotelera, Cancún) — Also known as Whale Beach, this is raw stretch of sand and crystal water at Km 14.5 between Sandos Cancun and Cancún Palace.
