Moderate to strong swell in Cancun
Playa Marlin is located on one of the sea fronts of the coast where the sea is more choppy, which goes from Punta Cancun to Punta Nizuc. It is a good area to carry your board and take advantage of the sea, the waves and its winds.
Keep in mind that sometimes there is a hangover (superficial water flow that goes offshore) as in the neighboring Playa Delfines or Playa Chac Mool. Remember that you should not swim against the tide, but at 45 degrees through it. There are guards on the beach, you don't have to have problems, enjoy the sea.

Turtle nesting in Playa Marlín
One of the most interesting activities you can do in Playa Marlin is during the turtle spawning season., where many turtles arrive each year despite the much cement that is in what was their natural space.
From May to September sea turtles spawn in Cancun, and from August to November you can participate in the activity of releasing them on the beach.

You must be 10 minutes before 20:XNUMX p.m. on the beach to join the Ecology team if they do the liberation: it is not something safe, depending on whether they are born or not, the rules are set by nature.
Parking Playa Marlín
Playa Marlin is one of the busiest in Cancun. Its location near the Kukulcán shopping center makes many lend themselves to moving from one place to another.
Parking at Playa Marlin is free and fills up quickly because it is a small space. This public parking lot has been agency some gentlemen who run it to their liking, in exchange for the will of the user. This, to my knowledge, does not happen in the other public beaches, where parking is free. They will have their reasons, which I cannot explain to defend the system they have set up.
As a curiosity, in front of Marlin Beach is the house of former Mexican player Hugo Sánchez, you can distinguish it by the great soccer statue that has on its terrace. Find it 😉

Hello Luisa,
I leave the entrance to the airport in Cancun where you have the information for your arrival, I think the last one to Merida goes to the 21: 15, it gives you time: https://www.elcaminomascorto.es/transporte-desde-el-aeropuerto-de-cancun/
You can book your ADO ticket from the airport to Merida on their website, and confirm schedules for your arrival day: https://www.ado.com.mx/ado2/#/
I give you an agency in Mérida that I like how they work. You can check prices and options, and so you value the car or make trips from there. The two options are good Luisa, according to budget and desire. https://www.wanderlum.com/es
