Playa Chac Mool is a public beach in Cancún’s Hotel Zone, near Punta Cancún. Fine white sand makes it a good stretch for a shoreline walk, and a shallow, gently sloping area lets you sit close to the water, though waves can be strong. Public facilities include restrooms, parking and showers at a limited access point. Bring your own shade if you want to avoid paying for an umbrella, and keep your belongings well above the waterline when sitting on the sand.
Public access and facilities

Sand, water and shade
