Why go

Ballenas helps spread a beach day beyond the clusters around Punta Cancún and the central shopping centres. The open water and sandy coast are the focus, with the resort strip forming the backdrop. Its position makes it worth considering when staying or travelling along this part of Boulevard Kukulcán.

What to look for

  • Open Caribbean water
  • A sandy coast backed by the resort strip

Useful to know

  • Check the on-site flag and follow lifeguard directions before entering the water.
  • Use the named public access; swimming conditions and available services can change.
