Cancun is a young city as most of its permanent and temporary inhabitants; it used to be a small sand barrier some thirty years ago, when it began to be planned and developed to become the vacation haven of the 21 st century. Today, Cancun is a medium-sized coastal city and a thin, long island connected to mainland through two bridges on both ends, north and south, featuring world class resorts and hotels in Cancún, clubs and malls.
It offers something for everyone whether it is an all day fun party beach or an isolated, tranquil island. For more information, you visit our section on Cancun Fishing.
Here you'll find from ultra chick to funky laidback, from R&B to techno, from tacos and cheeseburgers to mainstream fancy hallmarks. All tastes are welcomed and catered in this paradise. No wonder why this is Mexico's most popular resort.The new, great and gorgeous beaches of white sands caressed by the warm turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, stand out as the hottest spot in town, both literally and metaphorically. No one can keep from enjoying them, and you shouldn't hesitate, it's time to put on a bikini or your swimming trunks, time for fun under the sun! Topless bathing is an activity that is quietly accepted in Cancun and many of the surrounding areas along the Mayan Rivera. Total nudity is rare (as well as illegal), especially on the major beaches.
