Punta Brava Beach

The Riviera Maya has the most paradisiacal beaches in the country, from the famous destination Cancun with its white sand, to the idyllic and fashionable destination Tulum. But there is also a beach that you must know and that for its unique charm would qualify as “the most beautiful”. We are talking about Punta Brava Beach.

Punta Brava Beach: What to expect

The street that leads to the beach is called Niños Heroes. It is a passage between residents and travelers, after 5 kilometers, either walking or by cab. Discover white sand, jungle flora and birds flying over the sky. Enjoy the sound of the waves of the sea that you can see in the distance. There is a little swell due to the corals that formed here over the years.

You will see a beach full of seashells, stones with whimsical shapes. Also, crystal clear water pools and some corals that come out above the water. Take some time to enjoy this beauty. Some houses stand out among nature. They are apart from each other, but they have their charm. Especially because the idea of being here is to isolate yourself a little bit from others.

Ideas to stay

You will find some private properties but there is also the option of renting rooms under the Airbnb concept. This is a good idea especially for you to enjoy this paradise during the night. It is worth seeing the starry sky from here.

Punta Brava Beach: Live the night away

As you continue exploring Punta Brava, you will notice the Apachetas, small piles of stones piled up as an offering, which are made here, or the bohemian bonfires with chants and dances that some locals of Puerto Morelos carry out with extreme caution. This is how people who have come here thank the Universe for being able to find a place like this, free of agglomerations and commercial bustle.

To the lighthouse

Further on, you can reach the Punta Brava lighthouse, a tower that draws its slender silhouette among the landscape and that somehow is the watchman of everything around.

In Punta Brava there are no stores, but if you bring something to eat, take the waste with you, since it is one of the cleanest beaches of the Riviera and this is appreciated because here there is a lot of coral. You should also watch where you are stepping because, on some of the shores of the beach, there are parts of the sharp coral that we must take care of because it could stop growing and you could get hurt.

Don’t forget to take some pictures and sit down to rest among all this paradise while you see how the waves break on the rocks and coral. There are incomparable postcards, like the wonderful sunsets. Get ready and enjoy this paradise.
