Playa Caracol
Playa Caracol (Snail Beach) (Blvd. Kukulcan, Km. 9.5, Zona Hotelera, Cancún) — the last “real” beach along the east-west stretch of the Zona Hotelera, is near Plaza Caracol and the Xcaret dock. Located at Km 8.5, the whole area has been eaten up by development, in particular the high-rise condominium complex next to the entrance. This beach is also hindered by the rocks that jut out from the water to mark the beginning of Punta Cancún, where Boulevard Kukulcán turns south. There are several hotels along here and a few sports rental outfits.
