Playa Marlin
Playa Marlin Review
Playa Marlin (Marlin Beach), at Km 13 along Boulevard Kukulcán, is a seductive stretch of sand in the heart of the Zona Hotelera, accessible via a road next to Kukulcán Plaza. Despite its turquoise waters and silky sands, the waves are strong and the currents are dangerous. If this beach is crowded, you can walk in either direction to find quieter spots. There's also a small tent where you can rent boogie boards, snorkel equipment, and motorized sports equipment. Although there are currently no public facilities, you can always walk over to Kukulcán Plaza if you need a restroom. Amenities: water sports. Best For: solitude; snorkeling; surfing; walking.
- Address: Boulevard Kukulcán, Km 13, Zona Hotelera, Cancún, Quintana Roo, 77500
- Location: Cancún
