The white sands of the Mexican Caribbean are composed of tiny fragments of shell and coral and are always cool to the touch, quite a relief in the hot midday sun. The side of the Hotel Zone that faces the Caribbean is fringed with powder-white beaches. The stretch from town to Punta Cancun faces Mujeres Bay and the water, being sheltered, is shallow and calm. Some of the public beaches are: Las Perlas, Linda, Langosta, Tortugas, Marlín and Delfines (the last one is also known as El Mirador).

In Cancun you can practice all kinds of water activities. Thanks to its crystal clear waters and the proximity of the Mesoamerican Reef System, it is a great place for both diving and snorkeling. Depending on the time of year, it is also possible to swim with whale sharks, the largest fish in the world. The local marinas offer kayak tours, the famous “Jungle Tour” on the lagoon, all the way to some more extreme activities such as Flyboard.

During the Mesoamerican Classic and Post-Classic periods, the Maya developed an extensive network of commercial sea routes stretching from Campeche to Honduras, all along the Quintana Roo coastline, including Cancun (in Mayan: kaan and kun, “snakepit” or “nest of snakes”). Based on trade, they built cities next to the sea in order to keep watch on the coast and the exchange of goods such as salt, cotton and cacao, among other things. According to records, El Meco, Yamil Lu’um, San Miguelito and El Rey (above), were inhabited until the XVIth century.
