This is the only true public beach in the hotel zone. It has free showers, restrooms, changing rooms and palapas (hay roofs for shadow). All the other beaches are used by nearby hotels and they do everything to make your experience miserable if you're not their guest: no amenities, no shadow, etc. Some tips: - Don't mind people sitting next to changing rooms asking for tips. They are public and completely free. - Don't overthink flags and signs from lifeguards. Usually they are just recommendations and you can swim even when the waves are big. (Be careful however, this can get dangerous - know your limits). The only dangerous situation that we encountered was the crocodile swimming by. Then they made everyone get out of the water. - On the weekends, especially on sundays the beach is getting crowded quickly. Unfortunately it's not big enough to accommodate everyone who has no good beach at the hotel. Be sure to get here around 8 or earlier if you want a good palapa.

The water here is lovely, clean and turquoise! The tide is gentle enough for swimming. Temperature is mild - just cool enough to be refreshing without shockingly cold when it first rushes over you. This beach is clean, with white sand, and public banos. There are no vendors hounding tourists, but this means you also must bring your own water and food. There are many public umbrellas and some benches, you might get one if you arrive early. The line to take pictures with a colorful CANCUN sign in front of the turquoise sea is always long. The public bus for the Hotel Zone stops here frequently and is 12 pesos per rider. Playa Delfines is one of the best beaches in Cancun! The only major drawback - no lockers. As a couple we took turns swimming, as it is not wise to leave valuables unattended in public, on any beach, anywhere in the world.

Definitely one of the best public beaches on the Mayan Riviera, the water is lazure, not too many seaweeds, if you just go 20 meters into shallow water there are almost none. There is parking space on both side of the road. It's free of charge. Life guards are available until 5 pm as well as toilets and showers. After that hours you can of course stay on the beach but without using the utilities. There are bamboo sun umbrellas along the beach, if you're lucky you'll get one of them, if you don't want to count on your luck take your own. There is no bar or restaurant nearby so take your own beverages and food or you can buy it from the sellers walking along the beach. The closest petrol station with sandwich is in proximity of 1 km to the south. Very nice place, I think one of the best outside the expensive resorts.

A very beautiful beach equipped with free palapas for the public to use. I would suggest arriving very early if you would like to get one for your family because they fill up fast. The water was absolutely stunning. It was a little rough the day we were there. I don't know if that is typical for that beach, I know it can vary from location to location depending on where it is situated along the coast. So if you have smaller children just know that it can get a bit rough so you will want to keep them with you at all times. I also like that there are public restrooms available and showers to rinse off after a day of sun and sand. Be prepared to offer money to the bathroom attendant in order to get toilet paper if you need some after using the restroom. That's pretty typical in this part of Mexico though.

One of the best beaches with white soft stand, clear water and with its unique location I.e you are directly not exposed to hot sun as it’s couple feet below the adjacent beach road. So even in hot summer, you can start spending couple hours before sunset. Restrooms, police security and onsite health professionals with Ambulance availability. Most importantly public transportation is very good where you can reach there by buses R1 or R2 with 12 pesos I.e nearly 60 cents per person irrespective of where you board the bus. You can get bus for every 5 to 10 minutes and if it’s full, I advise wait for the next bus. I travelled here 3 times from downtown hotel.
