Playa Tortugas

Fodor's Review:

Playa Tortugas, the last "real" beach along the east-west stretch of the Zona Hotelera, eroded greatly after Hurricane Wilma. There's still a small stretch of stand at the entrance located around Km 6.5 (next to Fat Tuesday's) on Boulevard Kukulcán. The swimming is excellent, and many people come here to sail, snorkel, kayak, paraglide, and use Wave Runners.
