Gaviota Azul Beach or Gaviota Azul (Playa Gaviota Azul, which translates as "Blue Seagull") and Forum Beach or Lagarto Beach (Playa Forum or Playa Lagarto) are two public beaches in Cancun, which are the most famous and popular beaches of the tourist part of the city.

Playa Gaviota Azul and Playa Forum are a single beach strip where one beach smoothly flows into another.

Both beaches are public and the most famous in Cancun.

The beaches are located in the hotel zone of Cancun (Zona Hotelera), near the waters of the Caribbean Sea, at the very beginning of the long part of the beach seven of the resort, at 9.5 kilometers of the Hotelier zone (Kukulkan Boulevard) - in the place where Kukulkan Boulevard makes a 90-degree turn and has a bend called "Punta Cancun" (Punta Cancun). The first after the bend (a rocky cliff with an old lighthouse) is Gaviota Azul Beach, immediately after it is Forum Beach.
