The Riviera Maya stretches from Cancún to Punta Allen, and a mixture of bays, white sands, and limestone cliffs can be found peppered along the coast. The luscious stretch of the Riviera Maya coastline is home to party hotspots and tourist-choked beaches.
But waves of the Mexican Caribbean also are an excellent place for beginners to find their groove, along with budget-friendly surfing deals in the otherwise expensive resort area.
Where there’s no outer reef, the waves come in directly.
Tropical weather and hurricane swells also mean waves can reach heights of eight feet, especially in the winter. This makes an excellent alternative for intermediate boarders who’ve missed the summer swells in Oaxaca.
Some of the best beaches for year-round surf lessons and gently rolling waves are Playa Ballenas, Playa Delfines, Playa Chac Mool, and Playa Marlin.
