During spring break, go at sunrise and avoid the stretch around Punta Cancun. Adults-only and southern resorts tend to be quieter, and the lagoon side is almost always calm. Book your session early in your stay.
March is a popular time for families, and also for students. They rarely want the same things, so if you know where the crowds gather, you can avoid them.
Where to Avoid
The clubs and many youth-focused hotels are around Punta Cancun and km 9. Some resorts restrict student groups, so ask when you book. Southern beaches and the far north shore tend to be calmer.
What to Do
Sunrise. Nobody on spring break is up yet.
The lagoon. It is usually empty, and the sun goes down over the water.
Your resort. Gardens and rooftops work when the sand is full.
