What to do in Playa Mia? Are there any attractions or entertainments in region?

If you like outdoor activities, the Playa Mia can offer such an experience. In particular - SUP surfing. The beach stands out for an excellent base for this kind of sport. And the bonus is the gorgeous scenery from the water. Just try, we recommend it!

It is difficult to think of any entertainment and activities when you are on the beach. To swim, to sunbathe, to drink a couple of cocktails, again to swim and again to sunbathe, the variety usually is very limited. But on Playa Mia you can test yourself in such an activity as water jumping. It's fun and it's scary, the rest you have to experience on your own. There is no particular indicator for the extremity of any particular activity, but if there were, then sea kayaking is definitely at the bottom of the scale. If you are a fan of this kind of entertainment, you can do your favorite activity at Playa Mia. See what our users think about it in the reviews section.

In most cases, the question What to do on Playa Mia implies the presence of any excursions or attractions near the beach. Of course in this area there are lots of places to go besides the beach. There are historical, entertainment and even gastronomic tours offered by local guides. More information is better to clarify directly on the spot.

2 Very poor

The service provided at this beach is highly unsatisfactory despite the exorbitant charges. The staff is unfriendly and unhelpful, leaving a lot to be desired. It is apparent that the beach management pays taxi drivers to bring tourists to their establishment, even though there are better options nearby that offer similar amenities and even food. To make matters worse, we had a harrowing experience when a broken metal umbrella fell on us thrice, but the staff was unresponsive to our requests for assistance. In my opinion, this is the worst beach I have ever been to and I strongly advise visiting Paradise beach instead, which is not only beautiful but also worth the money spent.

I would advise against visiting this beach and suggest exploring other options. Despite being informed that the beach was free by the car rental company, we discovered that it was necessary to spend at least 200 pesos on subpar food. The prices here are incredibly inflated and not worth the cost. Additionally, a man came to check on our car rental multiple times, which made us feel uncomfortable and suspicious of his motives. The vendors on the beach were also persistent in trying to extract money from us. I recommend reading the negative reviews as they accurately reflect our experience. We will be choosing a different beach for our next outing, as the water here was not particularly impressive.

The Cozumel beach is a sight to behold, with its stunning powdery white sand and abundance of amenities such as comfortable tables, chairs, and umbrellas. It offers an array of water sports services ranging from jet skis, kayaks, parasailing, to the simple pleasure of swimming and snorkeling. Although there is no real coral to be found, the beach still offers plenty of opportunities for snorkeling enthusiasts. The beach is home to a fantastic restaurant and bar, where the wait staff is known for their exceptional friendliness.

This beach is an absolute blast with an abundance of entertainment options available. The service is top-notch, with staff coming directly to your spot on the beach to take your food and drink orders. The water games, equipment, and kayaks provided are a major highlight and added so much fun to our day. I regret not discovering this beach earlier, as I would have loved to visit every day. I strongly suggest trying their delicious coco loco drinks.
