Beach
Paradise
An old Argentinian song says that life is better by the sea. Just picture yourself on the beach—listening to the soothing sound of the waves lapping against the shore, basking in the refreshing salt breeze, and feeling the warmth of the sand between your fingers and toes. It’s the perfect place to let go of the cares of your everyday life. Plus, the beach has something for everyone: whether you’re a thrill-seeker, an avid water sports enthusiast, or craving a relaxing vacation with your friends or family, you’ll find just what you’re looking for at the beach.
Pack your sandals, your sunscreen, and your swimsuit, and get ready for a taste of paradise when you visit one of Copa Airlines’ best beach destinations.
Mexico
Mexico is home to two of our destinations famous for their beaches—one on each coast. On the Caribbean coast, Cancun is a place of captivating beauty, and on the Pacific coast, the Puerto Vallarta & Riviera Nayarit area draws legions of tourists, thanks to its incredible resorts, hugely popular beaches, and more than 186 miles (300 kilometers) of unspoiled coastline.
Cancun
The city of Cancun, located on the Yucatan Peninsula, is a favorite destination for beachgoers. In addition to its fine white sand beaches bordered by turquoise waters, the area is known for its water parks, all-inclusive resorts, cenotes, subterranean rivers, Mayan ruins, and crystal-clear lagoons nestled amid lush vegetation. It’s an ideal destination for families, thrill-seekers and water sports enthusiasts, and anyone eager to enjoy the area’s vibrant nightlife.

Colombia
If you’re eager to explore the Caribbean, Colombia is the perfect place for you, with three Caribbean destinations to choose from. The island of San Andres lies in the midst of the stunning “sea of seven colors,” as the Caribbean is known locally. Situated some distance from the Colombian mainland, it’s the largest of three islands in an archipelago with numerous cays and miles of beaches. Two of the best-known beaches on San Andres are Spratt Bight, which is located in an area of the island that hums with activity, and the coral reef-encircled Cocoplum, which is considerably more tranquil.
If you prefer the hustle and bustle of a city, Barranquilla and Cartagena are wonderful destinations too, whether you’re planning a romantic getaway or a relaxing vacation with friends and family. Barranquilla is known as Colombia’s “Golden Gate,” offering easy access to the fun-filled beaches located just a short distance outside the city. Two of them, Salgar and Puerto Colombia, are less than half an hour’s drive away. Cartagena, meanwhile, is renowned for the beautiful beaches that surround the city. The peaceful Boquilla beach has a well-deserved reputation for being clean and safe, and the Rosario Islands are an ideal spot for snorkeling and dolphin watching.
