Beaches

Beach guides for the coasts we cover, written to answer the question a visitor actually has: which beach suits you, and how to reach it. They compare beaches by coast and exposure in Antigua and St Barts, explain the calm bays north of Tulum and which Los Cabos beaches are generally swimmable, and describe the beaches of Punta Mita, Grand Cayman and Punta Cana.

Where conditions change through the year, such as sargassum on the Tulum coast, the guide carries the date of the bulletin it relies on. Access rules, facilities and what is not permitted are stated as the responsible authority publishes them.
