Playa del Secreto is recorded as a settlement in the municipality of Solidaridad, Quintana Roo, at an elevation given as 1 m in one source and 5 m in another. Census data list 28 inhabitants in 2010, and a 2014 estimate gives the same figure of 28. The sources consulted document no founding date, architect or villa development for the place.
The name Playa del Secreto means "Secret Beach" in Spanish, a reference to its position at the end of a narrow access road off Highway 307, hidden from the coastal highway by mangroves. The settlement counted 28 residents in the 2010 census, and the 2014 estimate gave the same figure, so the beach remains a small residential place rather than a resort.
The beach is accessible via a small road off the main highway south of Puerto Morelos, about 13.5 kilometers away or roughly 22 kilometers from Playa del Carmen. There are no commercial services on-site, so visitors should bring water, food, and necessary equipment for the day.
Playa del Secreto is a settlement, not just a beach: the 2010 census recorded 28 residents, and a 2014 estimate gives the same figure. Sources place it at 1 m above sea level in one article and 5 m in another, a discrepancy worth noting when reading local data.
