Playa Caracol

Playa Caracol is at Blvd. Kukulcán Km 8.5, close to the Fiesta Americana Grand Coral Beach hotel. Farther east is Cancún Point, the crook of the Cancún Island elbow. The very tip of the point, behind the Hyatt Ziva Cancún resort, is where Mujeres Bay meets the open Caribbean. Isla Mujeres is visible in the distance. Waves crash against the rocks and send up plumes of spray on the Caribbean side, while just around the point, closer to the Fiesta Americana, the water is calm, shallow and better for swimming.
