Review:

Playa Caracol is a delightful central beach within Cancún's Beach Hotel Zone, located along Mexico's eastern coastline. The beach area is known as a popular resort destination for Cancún visitors looking for a more authentic city life tourist experience, as opposed to some of the Hotel Zone's more suburban areas. Calm, pristine waters and brilliant white sands attract visitors throughout the year, with gentle surf conditions making waters as great for swimming and snorkeling as they are for surfing and water sports.

Is Playa Caracol in Cancun a good family beach? The beach's flat seabeds also make its waters a prime spot for families to enjoy together during their travels to Cancún.

Must know: Showers and a concession stand are offered along the beachfront, though visitors should note that no public restrooms are available.

What's nearby? Nearby, visitors can travel to attractions such as the Museo Arqueológico de Cancún or the Yamil Lu'um Mayan ruins.

Where to find it: Playa Caracol, Blvd. Kukulcan 162, Punta Cancun, Zona Hotelera, 77500 Cancún, Q.R., Mexico
