Hitchhiking from the town to the hotel zone and vice versa is easy and much practiced. You will encounter locals and travellers alike hitchhiking this part of the road 109. From the town, you can walk to the crossing to Cobá and follow the bicycle path southwards. After about 200m, there's a big supermarket (Chedraui) to your left. A few meters further, at a smoke shop (or the Captain's bar a bit downstream), there's a popular spot for hitchhiking down to the beach. Here, you'll catch both traffic coming from the Cobá crossing as well as local traffic from the town. Ignore the taxis, you might get a ride easily within a few minutes. Along the hotel zone, any place is good to hitchhike back to town, but especially where you find 'topes' (speedbumps). Another good spot for hitchhiking back is the police post at the junction to the hotel zone and ruins/public beach.
