La Playita Sabancuy
10 Zarillex

This beach is an excellent destination for both visiting and staying. It boasts numerous picturesque spots that can make you an influencer on social media. It's advisable to book in advance as it's always crowded. However, if you're into eco-tourism, this is the perfect place for you.

Punta San Julian

This beach is a great spot to unwind, but may not be ideal for families with young children due to the lack of shallow waters. The entrance offers seafood restaurants, but if you prefer to skip them, you can continue on and simply appreciate the stunning, clean, and free beach. It rivals the beaches of Cancún and Tulum in terms of beauty.

Playa Bahamita

We spent two days at this location. On the first day, the sea was very calm and perfect for swimming, although it wasn't very clear due to the weather. However, on the second day, there was a lot of wind and the sea was rough. Despite not being deep, the waves were very strong and brought in a lot of shells, making it impossible to swim. The sand is unrefined and grayish, with plenty of shells around. The palapa managers charge $100 per table, or it is included if you consume on-site. The prices are not expensive, with a bucket of 6 beers costing $150, but the food is quite average and lacks flavor. Additionally, the staff's attention is not very helpful. However, the beach is the highlight of the location.

The tranquil beach offers a serene ambiance where one can unwind and bask in the beauty of the vast sea. It's a haven where you can forget about the hustle and bustle of daily life and simply revel in the peacefulness of the surroundings. The beach may not offer any activities, but it's the perfect spot to rejuvenate and recharge your batteries. So, kick back, relax, and let the soothing sound of the waves wash away your worries.

This idyllic beach is a true gem, untouched and unspoiled by human intervention. The serene waters gently lap against the shore, while the soft sand invites you to sink your toes in and relax. The natural beauty of this place is breathtaking, with only a few palm trees providing shade from the sun. It's a shame that some visitors don't seem to appreciate the area's pristine state, leaving their rubbish behind. While there are no cleaning facilities, the palm trees do their part to help maintain the beach's cleanliness. Despite this issue, I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and would love to return - I just hope that future visitors will show more respect for this stunning location.
