Playa Marlín

Calm white sand in the middle of the Hotel Zone

Hours: Beach open at all times
Tickets: Free
Address: Public beach near km 13 of Boulevard Kukulcán, steps from the road

A beach in the middle of the Hotel Zone, so it is never far from wherever you are staying. The sand is white and fine, and the water is calmer than the surf on the open southern stretch. You can step straight down from the road, so there is no hauling gear around. Around sunset, people gather to watch the sky change colour.
