Playa Delfines
Playa Delfines Review
Located near Ruinas del Rey at Km 18, where Boulevard Kukulcán curves into a hill, Playa Delfines (Dolphin Beach) is one of the last beaches before Punta Nizuc. Hotels have yet to dominate this small section of coastline, and there's an incredible lookout over the ocean; on a clear day you can see at least four shades of blue in the water, though swimming is treacherous unless one of the green flags is posted. Devoid of resorts, this area has plenty of sand and surfers. It's one of the few places in Cancún where you can take surfing lessons. Although decent waves roll in during hurricane season, seldom do they hit "epic" status. At best, you might find choppy, inconsistent surf at Playa Delfines, Playa Chacmool, and City Beach. Those seeking more than just a ripple should avoid the placid northern beaches, where Isla Mujeres lies just offshore. Best For: surfing, playing in the waves, flying a kite, isolation from resorts. Amenities: parking on Boulevard Kukulcán directly in front of the beach.
