Playa Gaviota Azul — Attraction in undefined

My fav beach in Cancun… long and wide strip of white powdered and cool sand post card scene…

Right behind Plaza Forum Shopping Mall, at Kilometer 9.5 of Cancun’s Hotel Zone lies Gaviota Azul Beach. It is one of the favorite beaches for tourists due to its long and wide strip of white powdered and cool sand as well as the many bars and beach clubs around it.

In Cancun, I have been to 8-9 beaches from north to south and found this beach very beautiful. I had been to Playa Norte but due to storm reef-seaweed was all over the shore so could not enjoy there.

And I found this beach next to Playa Norte. It is right behind the Hard-rock café-coco bongo nightclubs. You can go inside the water and still you 'll find yourself till waist height.

There is one small hill and you can have perfect postcard picture from here with turquoise beach, building, sun and sand. Vendors are there to rent you out reclining chairs and umbrellas for 200-300 pesos. It gets pretty crowded during Spring Break as many events take place on it. Even though most of the time the water is calm, when the wind blows hard the waves get pretty big; an opportunity not missed by local surfers.

As this is in the hotel zone, you 'll have to find an access point. Right down to coco bongo signboard, you can find small street going towards the beach. Take that. We found it that good, we even came In the evening to sit on the hill. Breezy wind, waves, sunset, making the time more beautiful. If this beach is not better than not even less than Playa...

Playa Gaviota Azul, a hidden gem nestled within the vibrant Cancun hotel zone, offers a serene escape from the bustling crowds. Its pristine white sands, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and lush greenery create a picturesque setting that's perfect for relaxation and rejuvenation.

One of the most appealing aspects of Playa Gaviota Azul is its tranquil ambiance. Unlike some of the more popular beaches in Cancun, this secluded paradise offers a peaceful retreat where you can unwind and soak up the sun. The calm waters are ideal for swimming, snorkeling, and kayaking, making it a great spot for water sports enthusiasts.

While the beach itself is stunning, it's the surrounding natural beauty that truly sets it apart. The lush vegetation and diverse marine life create a breathtaking backdrop for your beach day. Whether you're seeking a romantic getaway or a family-friendly vacation, Playa Gaviota Azul has something to...

This is my family's favorite beach! Parking is easy to find if you drive past the clubs and snag a spot on the street leading up to the hotels.

The entrance to this beach is on the right hand side of MANDALA. Type in Mandala Beach Club on maps and it'll show you the way in. From there you can take a left all the way to the very end where they have the large wall of rocks (breakers to slow the waves) which keeps this beach relatively peaceful.

This is the cleanest beach we've found. Gorgeous blue water and white, powdery sand. There is very little debris and kelp wash up.

You can choose to stay where the partiers are by the 7-eleven by Mandala to enjoy the EDM, club music or walk all the way left to the end by Hyatt Hotel where it is quieter and more calm.

Overall the best beach in Hotel Zone and Cancun area that...
