Playa Xpu-Ha, Caribbean beach in Riviera Maya, Mexico
White sand beach extends along turquoise waters between Playa del Carmen and Tulum, offering natural shade from palm trees and minimal development.
The name Xpu-Ha derives from Mayan language elements meaning morning dew or stream of two waters, reflecting the ancient presence in the region.
The beach functions as a meeting point for local residents who gather during weekends to enjoy traditional seafood dishes at small beachside restaurants.
Access requires a 50-peso entrance fee, with transportation options including colectivos from Playa del Carmen for 40 pesos or taxis for 300 pesos.
Between May and November, sea turtles select specific sections of the beach to create their nests and lay their eggs.
