This list brings together 5 beaches that start with the letter X, running alphabetically from “Xpu-Ha Beach” to “Ximenavila Beach.” Most sit along Mexico’s Riviera Maya, with one Mediterranean stretch in Spain, and they range from lively snorkeling spots to quiet, off-the-grid coves. People visit them to swim, snorkel, dive, relax on soft sand, and escape the bigger, busier resort crowds.

Beaches are coastal areas of sand or pebbles where the land meets the sea, shaped over time by waves and tides. Many of the X beaches here carry Mayan names from the local region, a reminder of the deep cultural roots along Mexico’s Caribbean coast. They serve as places to rest, play, and connect with nature.
