Playa Palancar

A quiet white-sand beach on Cozumel's sheltered southwest coast, Playa Palancar sits well south of the cruise port and feels far more secluded than the busier northern beach clubs.

It fronts the world-famous Palancar and Colombia reefs and the El Cielo sandbar just offshore, making it a prime launch point for snorkelling and diving, with a single laid-back beach club, calm clear water and palm-shaded sand.
