    Scuba Diving Cancun

    Start at Scuba Diving Cancun. Even if you are not diving, the center is open and active. It is a good place to see the local diving culture and get oriented in the Cancun Bay Resort.

    Playa Las Perlas

    Walk 5 minutes to Playa Las Perlas. This beach is the closest to the anchor and offers a quick break by the water before heading to lunch.

  3. 13:00

    Sirenas Raw Bar

    Head to Sirenas Raw Bar for a drink or light bite. It is open from 08:00 to 22:30, so it is fully operational at this hour. It is a 16-minute walk from the anchor area.

  4. 14:00

    La Palapa Belga

    Walk 15 minutes to La Palapa Belga. This Belgian and French restaurant overlooks the Nichupré lagoon. It is open from 14:00 to 23:00, making it a perfect spot for an early dinner or late lunch in a scenic setting.

Local tip

The anchor is located in the Cancun Bay Resort. Most nearby shops and beaches are within a short walk, but distances can add up. Wear comfortable shoes for the walk to La Palapa Belga.

Check before you go

  • La Palapa Belga opens at 14:00. If you arrive before then, you may need to wait or choose a different lunch spot like Sirenas Raw Bar which opens at 08:00.
  • Check the route if you are not familiar with the walk between the anchor area and the lagoon-side restaurant.
