About Playa Langosta

Langosta fits into the itinerary when you want to set aside an afternoon for the beach instead of filling the day with tickets. The public strip is on the northern stretch of Boulevard Kukulcán, an area that also has several water-activity departure points.

Pair it with the morning paddle if your operator departs nearby, and enjoy the break without timing your photos. Before swimming, check the signs; services and the presence of sargassum can change. Keep away from the areas set aside for boats.
