| Tips | |
|
All Cancun beaches are supposed to be public but many hotels try to keep bystanders and visitors out of their area. If you are not staying at an ocean-view hotel you could try the in-between areas that show signs to indicate the way from the street to the beach. If you would like to have more privacy head to the south of the hotel zone, you will find this area less crowded.
