This beachfront location is an absolute gem, conveniently located within a leisurely stroll from my accommodation. I had the pleasure of experiencing both a breathtaking sunrise and a mesmerizing sunset during my visit. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable coastal escape.

Playa de Cuyutlan

This location boasts a remarkable atmosphere. It's a surfer's paradise with powerful waves and dark sand that has a unique texture. It's an experience like no other to feel the sand shift beneath your feet.

Camarones beach
4 Natalia Karamanlis

We decided to check out this beach due to its proximity to our Airbnb located in the Versalles neighbourhood. Although the area has a lot of ongoing construction, don't be discouraged as the beach is still accessible. Simply follow the directions provided on Google Maps. The beach tends to be quite crowded with numerous vendors. However, they do offer umbrella rentals which is a plus. The rental prices vary greatly, so it's best to shop around. We managed to find a vendor who only charged us $50 pesos for an umbrella. The sand here is a dark brown colour and appears to be littered with debris. Additionally, due to the presence of horses carrying tourists along the shoreline, there is a risk of encountering animal waste. The water didn't look particularly clean to us, so we opted not to go for a swim. Overall, this beach is not one of our favourites.
