Coral Beach sits at Punta Cancún, where the calm bay meets the open sea: sunrise on the Caribbean side and, in summer, a sunset over the bay. The lighthouse beach and calm shallow water suit couples and families. Sessions start at 245 USD.
Few hotels in Cancún give you two seas in one walk. Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach does, from its position at Punta Cancún. That means variety in a single session: calm bay water for children, the lighthouse and the open Caribbean nearby. Here is how we plan it.

Where We Shoot
Sunrise Beach and the lighthouse. When not booked for a wedding, the beach with Cancún's lighthouse behind it is a signature frame.
The bay. North-facing, calm and shallow: ideal for children and for couples walking into the water.
The Infinite Club Deck. Height and sea views for the last light, when available.

Families with young children do best at sunrise; couples in the hour before sunset, especially in summer when the sun sets over the bay.
How the Photographer Gets In
If you are staying at Grand Fiesta Americana Coral Beach, the photographer comes in as your invited guest: give the front desk our name and the session time a day or two ahead, and we check in at the lobby. For a private session, a staying guest is very seldom asked for the outside vendor fee that resorts charge for weddings, but policies change, so we confirm it with the resort in writing before your date. If you are staying elsewhere, expect a day pass for the photographer. Our guide to bringing an outside photographer to a resort covers both cases.
