Playa Bonita is located on Cozumel Island, offering a nice break from the busier party scenes found in places like San Miguel or Cancun. This surf spot is tucked away along a modest stretch of the island's coast, providing a more laid-back vibe. It's a quieter spot, which can be a relief if you’re hoping to catch some waves without the crowd.

The surf here can be decent, especially during the right conditions. You can expect waves that range from waist to head high (about 1 to 2.5 meters), generally breaking over a sandy bottom. The best swell direction is from the East to Southeast, and the spot can handle swell sizes from 3 to 8 feet (about 0.9 to 2.4 meters). Waves break to the left and right, making it suitable for various abilities, including beginner, intermediate, and expert surfers. The wind is usually best coming from the West to Northwest, and you'll find that the best tides to surf are from low to mid and up to high. You can enjoy a mix of wave types here, whether you're on a shortboard, funboard, longboard, fish, bodyboard, or even just enjoying a session of bodysurfing.

Access to Playa Bonita is easy, with just one road leading there from San Miguel. You’ll likely find it to be a pretty empty spot, offering a mellow local vibe. Keep in mind, though, that turning your back to the ocean can be a hazard, so always stay alert while enjoying the surf.
