About
Datos rápidos: Powdery white sand meets broad, wind-swept surf that often creates photogenic, foamy breakers beloved by photographers and boogie-boarders. A low concrete viewing platform provides sweeping panoramas where you can spot nesting seabirds, seasonal turtle tracks, and colorful kiteboarders carving arcs across the water.
Destacados: On windy mornings the viewpoint lets you watch rollers slam the shore, sometimes cresting around two meters high, while the air snaps with salt and the faint scent of fried fish from a lone vendor. Local volunteers keep a low-key tradition of releasing turtle hatchlings at dusk, where a dozen sand-speckled babies scramble toward the moonlit surf amid a hush of quiet cheers.
Insider tips
- Arrive before 9 AM for peaceful sand, softer photo light, and easier parking.
- Wear reef-safe sunscreen and bring a hat; water shoes help when surf or rocks are present.
- Pose at the colorful 'Cancún' sign on the headland for iconic shots, then walk east for quieter stretches.
- Avoid swimming when warning flags are raised, waves can become strong and lifeguards will close access.
