This beach is known for its beautiful white sand and crystal-clear waters filled with stingrays, starfishes, and other marine life. Catamaran and snorkeling tours are popular here—the boats usually anchor in the waters so you can snorkel and snap some photos with the wildlife. Pair that with yummy food and boozy drinks on board, and you're in for a good time.

Most tours depart from Cozumel, with some even including hotel pick-up service from Playa del Carmen or Riveria Maya. The tours sell out quickly though, so remember to book early. – Tripadvisor
