Doing the Beach On Your Own.

What are the beach options in Progreso?  Are taxi's readily available to get you to a beach and are any beaches recommended? Thanks!

When you get off the ship, you'll take a bus at the pier, which is like 4 miles to town.  It drops you off at an area with a bunch of shops.  The beach is a couple of blocks back toward the pier, very easy walk.  There's a long boardwalk with restaurants and stuff and the beach is free.  You can haggle for chairs/umbrellas with any of the vendors there. 

 

Be aware that the vendors selling their wares on the beach are pretty constant.  At least that's the way it was for us.  They'll walk by when you politely say no, but it won't be long before another one comes.
