Playa Ballenas
Playa Ballenas is a named public beach on the southern half of Cancún’s eastern coast, useful for a shoreline outing between the central and southern Hotel Zone.
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.
