Here is the guide to all the beach clubs along the coast and what they are like so you can find the right one for you.
The List of Playa Del Carmen Beach Clubs from South to North
These are the major beach clubs along the front of Playa Del Carmen. There are some small ones and some that often do not have the best beach. So, the list below should give you enough choices to choose from.
Tips: Remember that in high and low season prices and polices change. We try to mention prices in the individual articles for each beach club. Sometimes you can just pay consumption at a beach club and get free use of a chair or beach bed. Some of the larger beach clubs will charge per person or for the beds. Remember, if you don’t feel welcome at one beach club there are more to choose from.
Each beach club has a different vibe or feel. Some beach clubs are more popular with young people, and some are popular with people seeking a chill day at the beach. We hope you can find what you are looking for in this list.
Senor Frogs
This beach club is just south of the Cozumel Ferry Pier. The beach club has chairs, outdoor showers, bathrooms, and a restaurant. Senor Frogs is known for the cheesy factor but the beach here is no laughing matter. This is a nice beach, and it usually is not that crowded.

Is any of these beach clubs appropriate for kids/family vacation??
Hello Lori
Yes many beach clubs are good for children. We would recommend Wah Wah because there is a casual atmosphere and large beach for the kids to play. This beach is by second street.
Can you bring coolers to any of the beach clubs ? Or is it prohibited.
Thx
Most beach clubs do not allow you to bring outside drinks because they expect to sell you them in exchange for a free chair to use or subsidized rental price.
Hello, what’s a nice beach club for a couple in their late twenties that’s more so relaxed and laid back, trying to go on the opposite feel of Mamitas
We would say Inti Beach. It is chill with nice music and food plus much smaller than Mamitas Beach Club.
Hi. We like to do a little farewell party in a beachclub for around 10people the 20th or 21st of November 2019. Doesnt need to be fancy but it has to have music. Can you recommend a place. Thx
Hello
Inti Beach could be a good place. It is more intimate and a good place to have a party. The music, you can talk to them about options or just use the provided music.
Are any of the beach clubs family friendly? We are traveling with a 9 year old.
In 2022 dec, are there any beach clubs that welcomes families with kids (11 & 12)?
Mamitas has a special pool for kids that is nice. All beach clubs are kid friendly, but Mamitas might be your best option.
