Progreso-Corona Beach Without Tour? Other ideas?

[stoddaj1]

Hello, just wondering if it is possible to go to the beach and enjoy a day without booking a tour of some sort? Doesn't necessarily have to be an all inclusive day. Would like beach chairs as well. Any info., ideas and costs would be appreciated.

I am looking for the same.

I've been to Progreso several times and you will be inundated by vendors on the free public beach. Once time my hubby and I walked down the beach to the east about a quarter of a mile and found a spot where we were all by ourselves. Of course, there were no beach chairs or food. I've never done a tour on that beach so can't answer that part of your question.

We were there a couple weeks ago and walked to Eladios. There were a few vendors but didn't seem as bad as they were before. The best part was all of the free food they brought us after we ordered a few drinks.

How about going for a massage at Marina’s and just hanging out on the beach in that area? Anyone did this, thoughts?
