Although Cancun, in Quintana Roo, and Los Cabos, in Baja California Sur, are the most important beach destinations in Mexico, and therefore the most expensive, there are other little corners of sand, sun and sea, just as beautiful but much more. economic for these times of economic and health crisis.
Of course, first we must make it clear that these places do not have the same resort offer as those already mentioned, but in return you will find a more peaceful, bohemian and even ecotourism environment.
We present you four paradisiacal and cheap beaches that you should know on your next vacation.
Zipolite, Oaxaca
Without a doubt, the beaches of this beautiful state are a guarantee, due to its crystal clear waters, its intense waves for surfers and foreign visitors, especially from Europe.
Zipolite is known as a nudist beach, but it is not a requirement to enjoy it either; even, far from what many may think, it is very familiar.
Unlike Zicatela, Mazunte, Puerto Escondido or Huatulco, here is a great option for camping on the beach if you don't want to invest in a hotel, which also has all the prices and amenities. And it is that for 150-200 pesos a night , you can install your house; In addition, with that rate you have the right to use clean showers and bathrooms , as well as Wi-Fi.
As for food, in the area there are from fonditas to restaurants and bars, as well as snack stalls.
Yelapa, Jalisco
The beaches of the Cabo Corrientes municipality are one of the best kept secrets in the state. Among its jungle is Yelapa , a refuge for writers and artists who visit it every year to disconnect and be inspired.
To get to this corner, the best alternative is to take the water taxis docked at Playa los Muertos or from Boca de Tomatlán. In this small town you can stay in their palapa cabins with all services, from 600 pesos a night ; either or in tents, on the beach.
In its waters there are numerous green and blue, clear and clean, perfect for snorkeling and learning about its marine fauna. But there are also activities for the more adventurous, who can enter the tropical jungle and take a route to bathe in the waterfalls that break through the abundant vegetation, such as “La Catedral”, and “La Cascada”. The journey lasts about four hours, round trip, and on the way you can come across parrots, iguanas, badgers, and other species.
In its restaurants you can taste a huge fried mojarra, with rice and salad for less than 200 pesos. As if that were not enough, other jewels are located nearby, such as Majahuitas beach and Colomitos beach , the smallest in the country.
Maruata, Michoacan
If you go a little deeper into the rural area of the Michoacan coast, you will discover this beautiful, almost uninhabited beach , perfect for those who are willing to leave luxuries behind. Therefore, Cofepris classified it as one of the cleanest in the country.
The most common is to take your tent and camp freely by the turquoise sea, but there are also some cabin options for those who prefer more comfort, ranging from 500 pesos to night.
Among its attractions is "The finger of God" , a rock formation that seems to point towards the sky, as well as several natural hot tubs that form behind the cliffs and the sanctuary of the black turtle. In addition, due to its strong waves, it becomes a great place to practice surfing.
The restaurants are rustic palapas to taste from grilled fish or freshly caught lobster. Another memorable dish is morisqueta, with rice and fish stuffed with molcajete sauce. All at a fairly affordable price.
Mahahual, Quintana Roo
A clear example that not all the beauty of the Riviera Maya is expensive. This small rustic fishing village has become popular in recent years for its semi-virgin beaches , away from springbreakers and street vendors.
A few meters from its soft white sand, there are cabins for rent with spectacular views of the Caribbean Sea . There are from the simple ones of 1000 pesos for three nights , to those for six people, many of them surrounded by beautiful gardens. In its common areas you will find hammocks to relax among the palm trees.
Here is located the Banco Chinchorro , considered the largest coral reef in Latin America. In addition, it is worth spending an hour to visit the archaeological site of Chacchobén.
We recommend you rent a bicycle to travel the boardwalk and feel the sea breeze; snorkeling or diving in its crystal clear waters; visit the lagoon of the seven colors in Bacalar ; and try craft beer and cazon bread in one of its restaurants.
