so is there any hope at all of finding a secluded beach where my wife and i can relax and have some privacy? whether it require a taxi ride, ferry or whatever.
You wont find any in Cancun's hotel zone. You'll need to head either to Isla Blanca (which isnt actually an island) Isla Blanca - Guide to Cancun Beaches and Riviera Maya Beaches - The Beach at Isla Blanca or maybe to Puerto Morelos and walk/drive northwards a few kms. You'll need a car or taxi for both of these options. If taxi bear in mind it may not be easy to find a taxi back.
thanks steve....ill look into these options. i knew i wouldnt find anything nearby...wasnt sure there was anything still secluded at all!!
