10 Best Beaches Near Merida, Mexico

"One of a chain of sandbars off the mainland known for a desert-island vibe, calm azure lagoon waters, and hammocks and swings suspended over shallow, crystalline water that invite long, lazy hours of relaxation. Relatively remote and less overtaken by influencers due to its location, it’s reachable by kayak or boat from nearby Chuburná (under an hour from the city) and is perfect for a day of beachside snacks and ice-cold micheladas." - Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila Carley Rojas Avila is a bilingual travel writer, editor, and content marketer.
