Cancun´s Best Kept Secret 🤫

The Beach that Cancun residents fought to have.
Beaches, as a natural resource, should be accessible to all people, regardless of their economic status or place of residence. However, when they are privatized, this right is affected, limiting access only to those who can pay or have connections with the owners. This not only generates social inequality, but also harms the environment, since privatized beaches are often commercially exploited without consideration for the ecosystem. In addition, the privatization of these public spaces goes against the fundamental principle that natural resources belong to everyone and should not be in the hands of a few for their exclusive economic benefit.
This beach is not a tourist beach since only Cancun residents know about it since they fought for a long time against the government to stop the privatization of this beach by marching and raising their voices so that TODAY we can enjoy this beautiful beach and the wall that kept it closed can fall.
It was an open secret for a long time. Now, it is one of the most famous beaches in Cancun. There are different events that locals hold every weekend to have fun with family and friends.
Remember that glass bottles are NOT allowed on the beaches of Cancun under any circumstances. Help us keep the beaches clean so that we can continue to be your favorite tourist destination, better known as the Mexican paradise.
Located in the heart of the Hotel Zone of Cancun, Playa San Miguelito stands out for being a quieter and less crowded place compared to beaches such as Playa Delfines or Playa Tortugas. This makes it an ideal destination for those looking to escape the tourist bustle, enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere and have a more intimate contact with nature. Here, the Caribbean Sea shines with its characteristic turquoise blue, and the soft white sand invites you to relax under the sun.
PET-FRIENDLY! 🐾
This beach is completely pet-friendly, you can come with your furry best friend to enjoy a nice snorkel or just enjoy the sound of the waves. Just don’t forget to pick up their poop and keep them hydrated.
