In case some of you aren't aware, the Grand Mayan's management changed a few weeks back and implemented a different policy for Alegranza onwers and guests who wish to use the Mayan facilities. To get a day pass, each person now must spend a minimum of US$25 on food, drinks, spa services, etc. With this policy, there is still access, and when we have gone there, we've combined a day hanging out around the pool with brunch at the Mayan's breakfast buffet (very extensive for about US$16) and fantastic massages, so it wouldn't be an issue for us. But some prospective guests, especially larger groups, may find this less desirable than the previous access policy that Javier negotiated for Alegranza. He is working on some new possibilities, but in the meantime . . .

My question is: where do you especially like to go for beach days or beachside lounging? Please post your suggestions as comments or separate posts.

We like Palmilla Beach, off to the left where the palapas and pelicans are, for relaxation and safe swimming. We like Puerto Los Cabos Beach for long walks and feeling like you have a huge beach to yourself. We've enjoyed snorkeling off Manta, which stops at various beaches, and we swam ashore to lie a while on Chileno Beach. We've had fun watching the surfers while we were hanging out at Cabo Azul Beach. And, of course, we often go to the beach in front of the Mayan, the Presidente, and in between, especially to enjoy walks to the estuary and to take in the sunset and moonrise. Since beaches are publicly owned in Mexico, and there is parking and it's a nice walk there, we do that quite often. The last full moon there was absolutely gorgeous . . . and completely free and accessible.
