Review:

Playa Gaviota Azul is one of Cancun's busiest and liveliest public beaches, commonly referred to as the Playa Forum by local residents. The one-kilometer beach is located within the city's Zona Hotelera near the Club Coco Bongo, offering convenient access to a wide variety of nearby restaurants, shops, and nightlife spots. A diverse crowd flocks to the beach year-round, which offers opportunities for swimming, surfing, fishing, and a variety of water sports. A plethora of restaurants and bars line the beach's border, with many offering waterfront seating. For visitors looking for a more low-key experience, the beach's eastern end offers fine sands and shallow waters with less tourist action.
