Bright blue water as far as the eye can see, white sand, and the warmth of the sun against your skin. What more could you ask for?

This is a great beach with lots of umbrellas for public use, though be warned it gets quite busy and you’ll be fighting for a spot in the shade if you come later in the day! Also love that there are plenty of lifeguards and folks selling snacks and refreshments here.

Nice beach. A few vendors with water and fruits but little outside of this. It's a welcome break from the non stop selling in other beaches but it's too bad there isn't a shop a little closer or a cafe. If you're looking to bring your own drinks (no glass allowed) and don't want to rent a chair or be bothered, it's top pick

Impressive! The Caribbean Sea was a perfect turquoise colour! Most of the beach was empty when we went due to storms, it cleared up later on and we had the time of our lives there! My favorite beach in North America!

It is one of the best public beaches in Cancún, it is a really Must if you visit the area. The beach is just beautiful is highly recommended, there are public bathrooms and showers after you go to swim in the beach.
Don't miss to stop here!

Nice and clean. There are bathrooms, showers as well as a home-made kids playground. There are vendors going back and forth but I highly suggest to walk up the road to “go mart” which is like 5 min walking distance which has everything you need. The only disappointment is no matter how good the sand or water is, it gets a lot of seaweed as well.

Best beach in Cancun! Beautiful turquoise water. And thatched umbrellas. If you can manage to get one! I spent two days here during my 6 day trip. Just Lovely.

Playa Delfines is a long and wide stretch of beautiful white powder sand just south from the hotel zone.
You won't need to come here if you're staying at one of the hotels by the beach north, as this is the same beach stretching for miles.
However, even then I'd recommend doing that to mix up with locals who gather here as this is the public beach and a favorite local spot. On the other hand, for those staying at city ho(s)tels I'd strongly recommend it. You can choose your spot anywhere for free or hire sunbeds and umbrellas for a reasonable fee.
