Why You Need to Visit Cancun on Your Next Vacation

Besides its party scene made famous by spring break partiers, Cancun has a lot to offer with its beautiful beaches, world class cuisine, breath taking Mayan archaeological sites and museum, theme parks and natural wonders like the Nichupte lagoon system. There is something for everyone to enjoy, from a relaxing getaway to a rewarding historical experience.

Beaches

If you are looking for fun out on the water by parasailing, sailing, or water skiing, you may want to check out Play Delfines or Chac Mool. These beaches have stronger waves that deter swimmers, leaving the water wide open for boats and parasailers.

If you are on a family vacation with the kids, Langosta, El Nino, Las Perlas or Ballenas are the beaches you want to explore. These beaches have very little in the way of waves and are shallow when compared to the other beaches. Great for relaxing on the beach or swimming in the ocean.

If you are in seek of the famous party scene that Cancun offers, then there are a few beaches that you’ll want to hit up. Gaviota Azul, Caracol, and Lagarto are where the parties happen and are close to clubs and stores.

If you bring your dog with you on your vacation, Playa Coral, the only pet friendly beach in the area, is where you will want to spend your time so your pup can enjoy the beach with you.
