Mexico’s infinite stretches of sparkling golden and white beaches will please even the most discriminating beachgoer. Those who like an audience can strut their stuff in front of the millions of bronzed bodies in Cancún and Cabo San Lucas. If the glam tourist scene isn’t your style, ramble down the turquoise coast toward Tulum, to cavort in the beachside ruins. The shores of Isla Mujeres offer a quiet respite from the insanity, as does Isla Cozumel, where coral is king and scuba is queen. The southern Pacific coast harbors the surfing town of Puerto Escondido, with formidable waves and scantily clad beach bums. Farther up the coast sprawls the grand old dame of beach resorts, Acapulco, complete with cliff-diving men in tiny briefs. The stately duo of Zihuatanejo and Ixtapa host droves of sun-worshippers, as do ever-popular Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlán, while San Blas welcomes hard-core surfers. Off the beaten track to the north are some of the most overlooked and most spectacular beaches in the country. On the calm Sea of Cortés, bask under the stars on the beaches of San Felipe, Bahía de Kino, or Bahía de la Concepción.
