Getting there

Walking

If you are in the Coco Beach area, simply head towards the beach by walking east. You will find the pristine sands of Coco Beach just a few minutes away from any point in the neighborhood. Look for signs directing you to the shoreline, or follow the sound of the waves. As you approach the beach, you will notice several beach clubs and public access points.

Bicycle Rental

For a more leisurely approach, consider renting a bicycle at one of the local rental shops. Once you have your bike, head towards the main road, Avenida 5. Cycle north until you reach the beach access points. The ride should take about 10-15 minutes depending on your location in Coco Beach. Be sure to wear a helmet and follow local traffic rules.

Beach Shuttle

Some hotels and beach clubs in Coco Beach offer shuttle services to various locations along the shore. Check with your accommodation if they provide this service. If available, simply wait at your hotel lobby for the shuttle, which typically operates on a fixed schedule. This is a convenient option if you are carrying beach gear or prefer not to walk.

Public Transport (Collectivo)

If you are farther from the beach or wish to explore the area, you can take a 'collectivo' (shared taxi) from nearby locations. Head to the nearest collectivo stop, usually located along Avenida 30 or Avenida 5, and look for a vehicle heading towards Playa del Carmen. The fare is typically around 30 pesos (approx. $1.50) and the ride will take about 5-10 minutes. Ask the driver to drop you off at Coco Beach.
