With abundant marine life around Cancun, scuba
diving excursions are a popular past time for many
tourists. Most operators run trips to the ancient Mayan
ruins at Tulum and to the hub of Xcaret, which boasts
endless water sports and an ecological centre. Sailing
down the coastline from Cancun lends itself to plenty
of opportunities for exploring stunning bays, outlying
coral reef and local fishing communities.
From Cancun, there are unlimited opportunities for excursions to Isla Mujeres lying just off the northern coastline. Further south of Cancun to can cruise along the stunning Mayan Riviera. Isla Mujeres was an island traditionally built around the fishing industry, but now serves as a major port of call for people seeking an interesting day trip.
No Cancun vacation is quite complete without experiencing
the nightlife of downtown Cancun. Bustling bars and clubs
throw out just about any beat you can imagine from salsa
to strobe happy dance. Most Cancun bars and clubs have
all you can drink cover charges and an endless supply
of tequila shots it would seem. There a far too many bars
and clubs in Cancun to list. The most popular are however,
Senor Frogs, Basic, Bulldog Cafe, Daddy O and Daddy Rock.
With the last one, don’t be put off with the name...it’s
far from a rock bar for the over 40’s. It’s
wild. With various bar crawls on offer such as the Party
Hopper, you can usually take in several of these nightspots
in one go. The bar scene is buzzing most of the year round
and hits fever pitch during Spring Break. For a less drink
infested nightlife, there are cabaret shows and floating
restaurants offering sunset dinner cruises. A dinner cruise
is a great way to dine on seafood while seeing the sun
dip over Cancun before the shoreline comes alive glistening
with lights as the evening draws on. You can even experience
this aboard Captain Hook, a custom designed pirate ship.
However, the real draw for many visitors is relaxing
in Mexico’s tropical climate
on endless miles of immaculate white sand. Cancun beaches
are divided into northern and eastern stretches serving
visitors at either side of a central lagoon. Both Playa
Langosta and Playa Tortugas on the northern stretches
of beach is a hub of activity where you will find many
of Cancun’s hotels.
The majority of bars and restaurants are situated here.
Scuba diving and snorkel tours also depart from these
clean buzzing beaches with shuttles departing to Isla
Mujeres. On the eastern stretches, Playa Chac Mool and
Playa Ballenas serve as Cancun’s most popular beaches.
The best time to visit Cancun varies for many. Peak
season runs between December to March. The busiest times
in particular are at Easter and Spring break when scores
of North American students descend on Cancun to party,
making use of the 18 year old legal drinking age. Look
out for good Cancun vacation deals to either side of these
peak periods.
