Xpu-ha Beach, Tulum

A long stretch of sugar-white sand, Xpu-ha was made for swimming and walking. “They’re starting to build more around there, but it’s still fairly remote,” said high-end travel agent Jewell Ramos. “And the bay is gorgeous.” While there’s a beach right by the famous ruins of Tulum, “the best beaches are just south,” said one of Orbitz's Mexico specialists, Antonio Pitta. And though they’re great for swimming, they’re almost made for strolling. “You can walk for miles on these beautiful beaches,” he said.
