A: Mamita's Beach: Trendy beach club (music, party vibe). Punta Esmeralda: Free, quieter, has cenote! Playacar: Calm, fewer vendors. Playa 88: Good snorkeling. All have white sand and turquoise water. Choose by vibe preference!
A: Beaches FREE in Mexico (public access!)! However, beach clubs charge minimum spend ($30-50) for loungers, shade, facilities. Public beaches free but limited shade/facilities. Most visitors mix both - beach clubs some days, free beaches others.
A: Beautiful! White sand, turquoise Caribbean water, warm year-round. Not as pristine as Tulum (more developed, seaweed sometimes) but gorgeous! Beach clubs add amenities. Snorkeling good. Very accessible from town. Yes, they're lovely!
A: Yes! Reef close to shore at some beaches. Better: Take boat tour to reef ($45-75, 3-4 hours). Best snorkeling at Cozumel (30 min ferry). Playa has decent snorkeling but Cozumel world-class. Equipment rental $10-15 or included in tours.

A: Can be seasonal (April-August sargassum season). Some years worse than others. Beach clubs clean beaches daily. Check current conditions online. When present, affects beach experience but snorkeling/swimming still possible. Not constant issue - varies!
A: Reef-safe sunscreen (required!), towel (unless beach club), water, hat, water shoes, snorkel gear (if own), cash for beach vendors. Beach clubs provide loungers/towels with minimum spend. Bring less if using beach club!
A: Central beaches (Mamita's, Calle 10-14) busy but manageable. Punta Esmeralda and Playacar quieter. Weekdays less crowded than weekends. High season (Dec-April) busiest. Morning beaches uncrowded - perfect for walks. Plenty of space for everyone!
