Playa Langosta

This guide to Playa Langosta in Cancún traces its name back to the fishermen who once hauled lobster from these waters, long before the 1970s tourism boom lined the beach with hotels. You'll hear why locals still call this stretch their favorite in the Hotel Zone, and what the long pier splitting the beach once served before it began launching snorkeling and dolphin trips. It follows the shallow, glassy water families still wade into today. Best watched at sunset, when the sky runs from pink to violet.
