Playa Chac Mool
What the experts agree on
Playa Chac Mool offers stunning turquoise water and white sand with a major advantage: it's quieter than neighboring crowded beaches while staying steps from restaurants, shops, and Cancun's party zone. Rocks and no parking are minor tradeoffs.
“There are a lot of rocks, but the water is a stunning turquoise; moreover, the beach is close to shopping centers and the party zone, so there are plenty of restaurants nearby.”
– Fodor's
"This beach is situated right next to the busy Playa Forum and has the same white sands, amazing water and central location, but without the crowds." Full review
"With no parking, this is one of the quieter beaches with a lifeguard on duty. No food but there are stores and restaurants near the access, opposite Señor Frogs." Full review
