Introduction

Playa Langosta sits at the north end of Cancún's hotel zone — one of the quieter public beaches, named for the lobsters once plentiful here. The surf is gentle and the sand soft, with lifeguards and basic facilities, making it popular with families and anyone avoiding the bigger crowds. At sunset the pink sky over the Caribbean is one of the calmer views on the strip.
