Cayo Coco beaches locationThe gorgeous beaches of Cayo Coco cover almost the entire length of the northern coastline. They are made of powdery white sand bathed by crystal-clear turquoise waters and the sea is calm, making this beach-resort a perfect place to enjoy safe swimming, water sports, and long walks on the beach.

Offshore coral reef platforms protect the beaches from high surf. Every beach has a gentle sloping sandy entrance to the water with many shallow areas created by the sand dunes. These calm waters are great for families with young children, and also to enjoy all-kinds of water sports.

Beaches of Cayo Coco have been widened by pumping sand offshore. The result is impressive especially in Playa Flamenco. Click to see a photo of Playa Las Coloradas taken in December 2016.
