Mayan Riviera Beaches
Playa del Carmen Beaches

Playa Tukan Beach
Mamitas Beach
Shangri-La Beach
Coco Beach
Tulum Beach


Ahhh! the beaches on the Mayan Riviera! The beaches on the Mayan Riviera is probably what makes for the biggest attraction to the Mayan Riviera. The water is an amazing light and dark turquoise blue and is very clear. The sand is very white and powdery soft. Oh, and the Mexican sun is very warm and inviting. So very relaxing!

Below are some of our favorite beaches of the Mayan Riviera. Check them all out for yourself, they are all open to the public...

Playa Tukan Beach

Known as one of the most beautiful stretches of beach in Playa Del Carmen, Playa Tukan is also well-known for its lively beach club atmosphere. Here you will find restaurants and beach bars with moderately priced drinks and food, watersports, lounge chairs, and umbrellas for rent (for those guests not staying at the nearby hotels). This is a great spot to relax and enjoy Playa Del Carmen's laid-back beach atmosphere. Playa Tukan is located at Avenida Constituyentes in Playa del Carmen.

Mamitas Beach

The Mamitas Beach has beautiful covered beach beds, beach volleyball, excellent beach access, great tunes, and a restaurant and bar on site. It is also the annual host for the fashion show produced by Fashion TV. The best way to get to Mamitas is by the access road on Avenue First South between 28th and 30th Streets.

Shangri-La Beach

The Robinson Family Vacation ’07 was spent at the Shangri-La Beach. Shangri-La Beach is a wonderful family beach. It is not very crowded with people, the sand is soft and the ocean at Shangri-La is very calm. There is not loud music or wild crowds at this beach, so if you are looking for rest and relaxation and some Mexican sun, this is the beach for you. The Shangri-La Beach is located at Avenida 38.

Coco Beach

This is a very quiet beach, somehow isolated from the main area in town but close enough to walk there. Waves are not very strong in this area, and the water is relatively shallow. You can also do some snorkeling at Coco Beach. Coco Beach is located at Avenida Andres Quintana Roo in Playa del Carmen.

Tulum Beach

The Tulum Beach is the absolute most beautiful beach we have ever seen! The water is so clear and turquoise blue and the sand is very white and powdery. Now, you are in a much more secluded area than the other beaches we have mentioned above. The Playa del Carmen beaches have many more people on them with lots more happening. Tulum Beach is located 1 hour south of Playa del Carmen by car or bus on highway 307. It is worth the drive!!!
