The beaches are, without question, the biggest draw with their sand and crystal and turquoise water.
There is much kind of beaches, each of which has its own distinctive personality, and all of which are open to the public. From desolated to the crowded one, from a Puerto Morelos to Boca Paila. There are public beaches almost the entire length of the Riviera Maya from Puerto Morelos to Tulum. White sand, turquoise and crystal and jungle vegetation abound.

Beaches are usually not crowded, simply because there is so much of it that you can always walk to a non-populated section. All beaches are public so you are allowed, by law, to swim at any beach. You cannot however gain access to the beach by walking through privately owned property but you can choose renting a ocean front or ocean view vacation villa during your next vacation time.

Swimming conditions are usually okay; however, always remember that infants and young children need to be supervised closely. The water is warmest in late August – September and coolest in late January-February.
