Playa Delfines is a beach in Cancún, in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. It is one of the best-known stretches of sand in the city, and it sits along the Hotel Zone, the strip of resorts and beaches that many visitors come to see.
What to expect
The beach is known for its wide stretch of powdery white sand, which leaves plenty of room to spread out, settle in for a while, or take part in beach activities. The panoramic views over the Hotel Zone are one of the reasons people choose this spot, so it suits anyone who enjoys looking out over the coast as much as swimming in it.
Surfing is another draw. The beach is described as having excellent surfing conditions, which makes it a natural choice for those who have brought a board or want to watch others ride the waves.
Who it suits
- Visitors who want a classic Cancún beach day with space to relax
- Surfers and those who enjoy watching the surf
- Anyone interested in the views across the Hotel Zone
Around the beach
Because Playa Delfines lies within the Hotel Zone, it is easy to combine a visit with time spent exploring the wider resort area of Cancún, with its hotels, restaurants and other stretches of coast nearby.
