Soft white sand and palapas along Majahual's pedestrian malecón, with the Mesoamerican barrier reef breaking just offshore.

Practical

Coordinate is the OpenStreetMap beach polygon by the malecón (approximate). Wikipedia: soft-sand beaches, palapas and the barrier reef along the coast, about 3 km from the Costa Maya cruise port. Wikivoyage: most beaches are restaurant concessions offering food, drinks and loungers; good swimming and snorkelling. Quiet when no cruise ship is in; for empty beaches drive 4 km south past the Río Bermejo bridge (Wikivoyage).

Best for

Swim, snorkel and a palapa lunch
