Where is the closest beach?
The closest beach is just across the street from our property. If you take the East side (Caribbean side), you will find a path that will take you along the beaches. The beaches there are very private, small sand areas, caves, a bit rocky but not sharp, lots of shells and a gorgeous view all the way along to the South point of the island, where you can find the ruins of the Mayan Temple.Turning back taking the West side (Cancun side), you will find the Natural Park El Garrafn, the only near-shore snorkel area on the island. From there on, you will keep finding many beaches, big and small, some very private and others with services (restaurant, chairs, sharks, turtles, etc.). The water in this side of the island has some sea grass, but it is not dangerous to step on it.The biggest, nicest, but also most crowed beach on the island is North Beach (downtown). There are many very different beaches on the island. Explore and enjoy the variety!
