Playa del Secreto

Inviting, crystal clear Caribbean waters and powdered white sand fringe Playa del Secreto, the most beautiful beach along the Riviera Maya, just 30 miles south of Cancun.

There is a small community of houses nearby, including a bed and breakfast, but for the most part there is nothing but sky and clear waters along a stretch of unspoiled sand.

The road leading to Playa del Secreto runs through the mangroves where there are plenty of birds perched in the trees and shrubs, making it a great place for some impromptu birdwatching.
