Cozumel
Playa Xhanan
Sargassum & beach conditions
A remote, scenic beach on Cozumel's undeveloped northeast coast near the El Castillo Real Maya ruins, Playa Xhanan is reached only by off-road vehicle, if at all.
Strong open-sea currents make it unsuitable for swimming; it draws the occasional photographer and explorer for its raw, untouched scenery rather than beach amenities.
