Let me start by telling you that all the beaches in Mexico are Federal property, meaning that the government overlooks them, and they are all for the public to enjoy.

So without Further Ado,I will tell you about the best public beaches to have a great day in the sand and the sea.

Solaris Hotels Beach

Well as you might know, our Beachfront Solaris hotels are nearby each other, so being the Royal Solaris Cancun, and the GR Caribe by Solaris neighbors, so that means double the beach lenght.

We are privileged enough to be in the mile marker 20.5 km, meaning that our beach is semi private, having only one hotel to out right, and an apartment complex to our left giving us 286 yards of pristine Beach between the 2 of them, that's more than 2 football fields!

In our beach you can enjoy sun loungers , palapas and huts, and the water is calm to be able to take a swim, and in the comfort of your hotel.

At the GR Solaris we have a beach that has over 92 yards also with several suntan beds and palm tree huts, that are exclusively for the use of our guests. There no way on going wrong with that, we also have a Beach volleyball court that is open for all the sports jocks out there.

Playa Delfines

Playa delfines is less than 300 yards away from the GR Solaris Cancun, you can get there by walking on the beach, or on the sidewalk, it's a Beautiful Public beach, that has the Blue flag certification, and most of all it has a sightseeing post on top of the mountain, where you can get spectacular pictures from the caribbean and the different blue colors that the sea has to offer.
