15 Best Beach Towns in Mexico


If you are considering a vacation in Mexico, Cancun will immediately come to mind. This busy city on the southeast coast of the country is often a gateway to the rest of the Yucatan Peninsula (and the Riviera Mayans) and all its tropical charm.
Aside from epic beaches and turquoise waters, Cancun is also known for one very specific thing: spring break. This is the gathering center for sun-seeking travelers every spring. But there is a lot to do in Cancun, and it’s more than just dazzling nightlife and beach bars. Cancun is home to Maya Culture, with plenty of water sports activities, ecotourism tours, artisan markets, golf courses and beautiful beaches.
Playa Delfines is a place that all locals love to hang out. It is not owned by any resort or major hotel, so you can enjoy views of the Caribbean Sea. The atmosphere is super refrigerated here, it’s totally public, so you’ll find a lot of local food stalls.
If you want to go further, check out Port Morelo. This sleepy fishing village is peaceful and quiet, and the reefs are popular among divers and snorkeling.
