Palapas

Playa Delfines offers free palapas for shade, combining comfort with traditional Mexican coastal design.

Brief History: Inspired by traditional Mayan-style shelters, palapas at Playa Delfines were added as part of public amenities when the beach was officially developed for tourism. Notable Features: These small, thatched-roof huts are constructed with wooden poles and dried palm leaves, blending perfectly with the tropical setting. They provide shade while preserving the beach’s natural aesthetic. Fun Fact: Palapas are free to use but limited in number, so locals recommend arriving early to claim one, especially during weekends and holidays. Current Use: Tourists use palapas for rest, picnics, and shade from the hot sun. It’s considered good etiquette to share space during crowded times.
