Attractions and tips

Cancun is a major spring break destination and it has some of the best beach resorts and entertainment in the Caribbean as a result. Alongside the surf and sand, Playa Linda is where you’ll find the dock for the area’s submarine and diving tours, as well as the shuttle to Isla Mujeres, a much more low-key beach island.

Beyond the beaches, visitors can check out the Mayan ruins at Chichen Itza, take a Lobster Dinner Cruise, or check out the Jungle Tour for something more exciting.

Tourists usually stay in the many beach resorts and hotels in the “Hotel Zone” while most locals can be found in the city.
