North Beach                                         East Beach

Cancun’s beaches are formed by sand of calcareous origin, accounting for its white color, its fine texture and temperature, always cool regardless of the sun’s strong rays.

In Cancun, two beach zones can be distinguished: the first one located at north of the hotel zone, facing Isla Mujeres, protected by its location within the Bahia Mujeres bay. Due to this it has calm waves ideal for children and for to practice a lot of aquatic activities like jet skiing, water skiing, sailing and surfing, plus safe swimmig.

The other beach zone is located on the eastern side of the hotel zone, facing the Caribbean open sea. This is a spectacular beach with tiny white sands and waves which intensity varies according to the season. For your safety, hotel beaches and the marinas use colored warning flags. Before swimming, we suggest consider them. But the aea is ideal for relax, to socialize and to get a tan.

By other hand, bordered on one side by the vast Caribbean Sea and by extensive lagoons on the other, Cancun’s hotel zone is a paradise for aquatic activities. The numerous marinas offer from an entire day of fishing in the high seas to diving classes and deep-sea diving, including a visit to sharks’ caves or the zones inhabited by whale sharks and sting rays.

At western side of the Cancun hotel zone there is the Nichupte lagoon sourranded by a mangrove jungle that oferrs the unique experienc of the Joungle tour, Severals marines in the area give you to a water trip on jet ski or small boats inner the tunnels of vegetation where you can see the wild life of the area like birds, jellyfish or crocodiles and the “cenotes” characteristics of the Yucatan Peninsula.
