Forum by the Sea Shooping Center, Cancun

Forum by the Sea Shopping Center is a lively shopping and entertainment complex located along Kukulcán Boulevard in Cancún’s Hotel Zone, notable for its direct beach access. This feature alone sets it apart from many other shopping areas in the city and makes it a popular stop for visitors who want to combine time by the sea with shopping and dining in one place.

The mall includes a range of stores selling clothing, beachwear, and accessories, mixing designer labels with more casual brands. Souvenir shops are especially prominent, with handcrafted silver jewelry and locally themed items among the most sought-after purchases. The layout is open and easy to navigate, encouraging visitors to browse without committing much time, whether they’re coming from the beach or walking along the boulevard.

Forum by the Sea is also strongly tied to Cancún’s entertainment scene. Inside the complex, you’ll find cinemas, a well-known disco, and several dining options. A terrace on the second floor opens toward the Caribbean Sea, offering clear views and a quieter place to sit and take a break. Dining ranges from recognizable names like the Hard Rock Cafe to casual fast-food spots and a second-floor food court with multiple choices, making the center an active meeting point from daytime through late evening.
