Kino Nuevo
Bahia de Kino, Sonora, Mexico
Kino Nuevo is the newer, quieter side of Bahia de Kino on the Sea of Cortez in Sonora, Mexico, a stretch of secluded homes and condos along a long sandy shore. The calm, turquoise water suits swimming and kayaking, and the beach is covered in shells. The sand runs for about 11 km in total.
A long, calm, shell strewn beach that stays quiet, though it has few services and winter winds can be sharp.

Soliman Bay
Tulum, Quintana Roo, Mexico 路 Mexico & Central America
Soliman Bay sits about 20 minutes north of Tulum on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula, a quieter alternative to the beach clubs further south, with a coral reef sheltering the mouth of the bay and villas tucked right against the sand. Puffer fish, octopus, and the occasional manta ray turn up in the clear water, and a public access point at the north end of the coast road has kayak rentals and simple seafood.
Playa Xcacel
Xcacel-Xcacelito, Quintana Roo, Mexico 路 Mexico & Central America
Xcacel Beach sits along Mexico's Riviera Maya coast, protected since 1998 as a sea turtle sanctuary where green and loggerhead turtles nest from April through October, releasing more than 200,000 hatchlings most years. A cenote sits just inland from the sand, and the whole stretch has stayed undeveloped specifically because of its protected status.
Chacala
Chacala, Nayarit, Mexico 路 Mexico & Central America
Chacala sits in a small cove on Mexico's Riviera Nayarit, about 90 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, a nearly mile long beach of soft, pale sand lined with palm trees and palapa restaurants. The town holds around 300 full time residents, though visitor numbers climb sharply during Semana Santa and Christmas, and jungle covered hills rise up on either side of the bay.
