Palancar Beach

[caribbeach]

We are a couple "of a certain age" and really don't care about a pool or water toys.  We would just like a quiet beach for a couple of hours with a few "refreshments".  Even though Paradise Beach looks great we are thinking Palancar might be more our speed.  Any help appreciated..

Run, do not walk to Palancar beach. You won’t regret it. Cute palapa on the beach and free use of chairs and umbrellas with purchase. Five shop on the beach as well.

Chairs and tables are free. I have never heard of loungers being free. You have found a good deal if they are.

 

much busier than it used to be although we haven’t been back since Covid.

Very nice beach and relaxing with a lot of palms to sit under for shade. If you'd like to see my pictures, you can find them on my blog HERE

Playa Palancar was our favorite beach from the ship 22 years ago. We stopped there while visiting Coz from the Riviera Maya in 2019, and unfortunately it was jam packed and a lot more palapas and tables had been added. Like being on the ship, and that was on a small ship day! But the number of cruise ships hitting Coz spiked tremendously, and everyone is traveling further south in search of that quieter beach…If you are there on a less busy day it is a beautiful spot to relax…

The small tables are first come as mentioned, the lounges palapas are at a cost of course.

We also discovered it in the days when it was quiet. Many land visitors now avoiding cruisers favorites!

Can anyone give an idea of the taxi cost from the cruise port to Palancar?

Used to be about $25 for up to 4 people each way.
 

I don’t think prices have officially increased but check on the board at dispatch and with your driver before leaving.
