Playa Xpu-Há
Xpu-Há's broad sand and protected-feeling water make it a leisurely beach stop south of Playa del Carmen. Leave room for swimming and time on shore rather than rushing through.

Xpu-Há offers a broad sandy beach and relatively sheltered swimming between Playa del Carmen and Akumal. The open shoreline gives a visit room to stretch beyond a quick dip, especially for travelers who want to alternate between water and rest on the sand. Its appeal is the slower beach rhythm and the gentler-feeling water, away from the densest central resort strips.
