Create an itinerary including Playa Delfines
Escape the tourist crowds by visiting Playa Delfines, one of Cancun's few uncrowded beaches. With slightly rougher sand and choppier water than some of the other spots nearby, this stretch of coastline compensates for a lack of modern amenities with fine views and a peaceful atmosphere. Ideal for those tired of throngs of vacationers, this little getaway also offers public parking--another rare plus. All that said, you do need to be mindful of riptides and heavy currents if you decide to swim here, so check the signs for the current conditions. It couldn't be easier to arrange your visit to Playa Delfines and many more Cancun attractions: make an itinerary online using Klarna Trips Cancun itinerary site.

  • One of the most beautiful beaches I've ever seen. You'll think the pictures are photoshopped until you see it with your own eyes. It is really that beautiful! Water was nice, warm and incredibly blue!

  • A very nice beach, quiet and clean, I liked it very much to be here, everything is very nice and serene, I hope to visit more beaches on this vacation.

  • Bright blue water as far as the eye can see, white sand, and the warmth of the sun against your skin. What more could you ask for? This is a great beach with lots of umbrellas for public use, though be warned it gets quite busy and you’ll be fighting for a spot in the shade if you come later in the day! Also love that there are plenty of lifeguards and folks selling snacks and refreshments here.
  • Nice beach. A few vendors with water and fruits but little outside of this. It's a welcome break from the non stop selling in other beaches but it's too bad there isn't a shop a little closer or a cafe. If you're looking to bring your own drinks (no glass allowed) and don't want to rent a chair or be bothered, it's top pick
  • Impressive! The Caribbean Sea was a perfect turquoise colour! Most of the beach was empty when we went due to storms, it cleared up later on and we had the time of our lives there! My favorite beach in North America!
  • Lovely warm water with little seaweed but the waves are very rough so the lifeguards are blowing their whistles at people constantly. The beach is public and has quite a lot of umbrellas for shade. The famous Cancun sign is here but there is always a big line up so you may as well skip it and take pictures at one of the smaller signs farther up the road. The bus will take you here no issue but they don't like to stop to pick you up on the way back to the hotels.
  • Nice beach but very strong waves and too many tourists. Just walk a bit away from the crowds and enjoy more beautiful beaches nearby. Thanks to Yankee tourists now some locals are actually offering drugs and chicas (hookers) on the beach, terrible those north-Americans got to export their depraved lifestyle everywhere they go.
