Snorkeling, surfing and other water sports

Playa Delfines is essentially the perfect destination for all those who practice extreme water sports, such as snorkeling and surfing.

Bodysurfing is also possible on the beach, and there are options for adventurers who are not so experienced with water sports, such as boat trips, kayaking, and others.

How? You may ask! Very simple. Playa Delfines has very few visitors, which makes it the perfect place to find a free space on the sand and settle down to read a book, enjoy a good chat with friends or family, or watch your loved ones play in the sand or on the shore of the beach, without anyone around you bothering you.

Of course, you can swim at Playa Delfines, but it is recommended that less experienced swimmers, and especially children, stay on the shore as a precaution. However, everyone will be safe on this beach, which brings us to the next point.

Lifeguards will keep you safe

Playa Delfines is one of the safest water parks in all of Mexico, due to its constant surveillance and marine guard.

It has a team of lifeguards specialized in rescue, who will be there to help you when you need it, not only for emergencies, but for directions, recommendations, or if you prefer, to take a photo with them and have a short chat.

Turtle season

Dolphins Beach is not only an oasis for tourists who enjoy the sea, sun and sand, but it is also the perfect ecosystem for marine life. In fact, the place is ecologically protected for turtles.

Between May and September, turtles come to the beach to lay their eggs and then retreat to the beach. This is the life of turtles. Several species of turtles lay hundreds of eggs that later go to the sea to feed and grow to their normal size, and in their adult life, return to the beach where they were born and to lay their own eggs.

If you are lucky, you will be able to see this beautiful act of nature. Just keep in mind that this happens at night, and lifeguards only work during the day, so be careful not to dive into the water at night.
