Well you could live there, you just couldn't own. Americans cannot
purchase anything with several miles of the beach by Mexican Law.

Lots of americans have purchased coastal property in Mexico through
the legal workaround of a trust/corporation:
"In the interior of mexico foreigners can own and hold title in
their name. However, the mexican constitution prohibits foreigners
from directly owning property (fee simple) within 50 kilometers from
all coastlines and 100 kilometers from the border. Foreigners can
acquire beach property through a living trust or forming a mexican
corporation.
