Key aspects of Marlin Beach:

  • It is located at kilometer 13 of Boulevard Kukulcán, right behind Plaza Kukulcán.

  • Access: Completely free and open to the public.

  • Parking: Free at the entrance, operating from 09:00 to 16:30 hrs.

  • Amenities: Freshwater showers, restrooms, and rental of lounge chairs and umbrellas (at extra cost).

  • Accessibility: It has wooden ramps to facilitate wheelchair access.

  • Waves: They are usually moderate to strong, so precautions are necessary, but they are excellent for those who enjoy a more active sea.

  • Water sports: It is possible to book activities such as parasailing and jet skiing in the same area.

  • Public transportation: It's very easy to get here using Route 1 or Route 2 buses (which run frequently throughout the Hotel Zone and downtown). Just ask the driver to let you off at Plaza Kukulcán or request to be let off near Playa Marlín.

  • Rules: Glass bottles are not allowed, nor is the use of traditional sunscreens that damage corals (I suggest using biodegradable sunscreens or clothing with UV protection).

  • Shops: You'll find an OXXO convenience store a few steps from the entrance to buy drinks and snacks.
