North America’s 11 Best Beaches
9. Playa Xpu-Há | Mexico
Between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, Xpu-Há offers a broad Riviera Maya shoreline edged by palms. The appeal is the familiar Caribbean palette rendered with plenty of space: white sand below tropical greenery, then shallow-looking turquoise water opening toward the horizon. It is not necessary to invent a secret-island story for it. A slower walk along the beach is reason enough to take notice.
