Spectacular Cancun Beaches

Cancun Beaches are among the most beautiful in the world.

Cancun was just sand and sea about forty years ago when some Mexican visionaries and the President at that time decided to develop this “corner” of the Yucatan Peninsula.

Today Cancun is a center of tourism with tourists coming from every corner of the world.

Site Build It!

Cancun has been developed to a maximum using every single stretch of beach to build the most magnificent resorts and hotels in the Caribbean.

We went to Cancun for the first time in 1978 and I can attest that it was a small town with just a few hotels like Camino Real where we stayed. During the years it has been growing non-stop and even with the set backs of several hurricanes it is now the great tourist center of the Mexican Caribbean.

Cancun Beaches

There are many beaches to mention. Here I am going to mention the most recognized white sand and crystal water beaches. These are excellent beaches for water sports and swimming. The waters are calm, the beaches are clean and there are nice Resorts here too. The docks from which the Cruises, shuttles, and water taxis depart for Isla Mujeres are located on the north beach side.

Cancun's beaches are legendary and with good cause. The powdery white sand, of the Caribbean blesses all of the beaches in Cancun. The Caribbean Sea is unusually warm with incredibly blue water and at most times is very calm. Weather in Cancun is warm all year round. Look down any beach, at almost any time, and you will see people enjoying the calming effects that seem to instantly relieve the tensions of everyday life.

East Side Beaches

In this side of town the beaches have an Ocean side and a Lagoon side. Most of the hotels are located on the Ocean side. Most of the action takes place on the Ocean side but the Lagoon side is great for jet skis, kayaks and other rental water equipment.

The beaches of the ocean side are the same. They are white powdered and clean. Here the protection of Isla Mujeres does not exist; therefore the waves could be big at times.

Playa Marlín – This beach is good for relaxing, swimming and water sports.

Playa Delfines – This is also very good for swimming and relaxing.
