User reviews
"The beach that is closest to Costa Maya in Mexico is a wonderful spot to spend a day on the strip. The beer and food are incredibly inexpensive, making it an excellent choice for budget-conscious travelers. Additionally, the beach is perfect for scuba diving, as it is possible to dive right from the shore without the need for a boat."
Kaelin Voss
"The beach is quite dirty and overrun with seaweed, resulting in the locals fencing off certain areas to create small, shallow pools in the sea. Unfortunately, our experience at this beach was not enjoyable. However, the shops located on the sidewalk were interesting and provided a fun area to stroll around."
