nuleafonlyfe_04 Posted October 11, 2017 #1 Share Posted October 11, 2017 We are traveling on the Carnival Fantasy soon and wanted to know whats to do in Costa Maya? I really don't want to do an excursion through the ship. Are there any public beaches to relax at and chill???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PelicanBill Posted October 13, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Read some of the other threads here... lots of info. Basically there are 3 things to do without taking any excursions: 1. Hang out at the port. Shops, pool, pool bar, dolphins. 2. Go to the water park, a short walk away 3. Take the bus or taxi ($3pp each way) to the Mahahual beach area, just 10 minutes away. Long line of beach restaurants and bars, vendors, water sports. Some offer all-inclusive deals. Some let you hang out with chairs and umbrellas if you drink and eat. Some have a charge to stay. All in all, a cheap place to visit, eat, drink and have fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ptf2009 Posted October 26, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Is the water at the beach you mentioned a clear blue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KuffMUp Posted November 9, 2017 #4 Share Posted November 9, 2017 It's blue. But most of the area has sea grass. It is shallow so no really good snorkeling area. But it is relaxing to chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't beat the price - two bucks apiece for beers. White sand, and warm water. Much more relaxing than staying at Costa Maya with all the fake stuff cruise lines like to create.
