Cancuns beaches can often get overwhelmed by the hoards of tourists that travel to its shores every year, which is why Playa Delfines is like a breath of fresh air for Cancuns beach-goers. Playa Deflines provides an escape from the busy beaches near the resorts and hotels in Cancun, and you can walk the expansive sandy beach or swim in the waves without feeling claustrophobic like you might at Cancuns more crowded beaches.

There are few more idyllic beaches in the world than Balandra Beach in Baja California Sur. While its clear, calm turquoise waters attract many tourists every year, its 12 mile drive from downtown La Paz still makes it one of the more secluded beaches in Mexico.
At Balandra, you can spend an entire day relaxing on the untouched and undeveloped beach and swimming in the shallow warm waters.
3. Lovers Beach Cabo San Lucas

Playa del Amor, or Lovers Beach, is located in one of Mexicos most popular vacation towns, Cabo San Lucas.
The natural geography of Lovers Beach is striking, surrounded by towering rocks that seem to jut out of the sea, and while this makes the beach dramatic and picturesque, it also makes it hard to reach.
To get to Lovers Beach, you will have to take a water taxi or other form of water transportation to reach its shores. While there, you can rent a kayak to explore the beautiful jagged coastline.
2. Akumal Beach Akumal
