Cancun a bustling international resort

Cancun is divided into two distinct areas – Cancun City, the residential area, and Cancun Island, also known as the Tourist Zone. The island of Cancun is connected to the mainland by two bridges, with the main tourist district located on a 12 km peninsula which juts out into the Caribbean Sea.

A series of pristine beaches lie along the coastline, all with fantastic soft powdery sand, with the best located in the north of Cancun. Although Cancun is an incredibly busy resort, the miles of coastline mean it is still possible to find a quiet stretch.

The waters facing the open Caribbean Sea are perfect for water sports, snorkelling and fishing, whilst the calmer waters of the vast sheltered lagoon, Laguna Nichupte, create perfect conditions for water-skiing, for example. Facilities on the beach in Cancun are extensive and a huge array of hotels, many right on the front, offer a wide choice of accommodation.
