Playa Maruata, Pacific beach in Maruata, Mexico
Three distinct beaches form Playa Maruata: a 3-kilometer eastern stretch with calm waters, a middle section with caves, and a western area with strong currents.
The beach has long supported local fishing communities, providing sustenance and economic opportunities for generations of residents in the Michoacán coastal region.
Indigenous Nahua communities maintain their traditional fishing practices at Playa Maruata, continuing centuries-old connections with the Pacific waters.
Visitors can access basic amenities in the town center, including fresh seafood restaurants, shops, and accommodation options ranging from camping to cabañas.
From July to December, green sea turtles select this beach as their nesting ground, laying eggs along the protected shoreline.

These Mexican beaches provide natural settings away from tourist spots. From protected coves in Quintana Roo to sandy shores in Baja California Sur, you will find clear waters and native marine life. Many locations are accessible only by boat or sit near small fishing villages.
