Where Is Cancun Located

Cancun Mexico Map Cancun Mexico Spring BreakThe city of Cancun is actually a few miles away from the Cancun hotel area. Most hotels are built on a long but narrow peninsula, so that they have a beach to both sides. The front side faces the Caribbean Sea, while at the other side there is large Lagoon. This area is known as the Hotel Zone (Zona Hotelera). The Zona Hotelera is several miles long and connected to Cancun City by a good, four lane avenue.

Spring Break in Cancun Weather

With the sun shining on average between 240 and 253 days per year, Cancun is a year-round holiday destination, although certain times of year may be more favorable than others. High season for travel falls between December and April. During these months the weather tends to be sunny, with temperatures hovering around 85ºF (30ºC) during the day and rarely dipping far below 65ºF (18ºC) at night.

Cancun Hotel Zone

The hotel zone is a narrow piece of land shaped like the number “7” and separated from the mainland by the freshwater Laguna Nichupte. Construction began in 1970 and the first hotels opened in 1974. There are now over 27,000 hotel rooms along the 17-mile stretch of beaches, according to the official Cancun tourism bureau.

Cancun Airport

Cancun International Airport is the second busiest in Mexico. Located south of the Hotel Zone, it sees an average of 800,000 passengers a month pass through its portals in the winter high season, according to the airport’s official website. The drive to the Hotel Zone takes 20 to 30 minutes.

When To Go To Cancun

With an average temperature of 80 F (27 C), average water temperature of 86 F (33 C), and 240 days of sunshine, nearly any time is a good time for a siesta. If you are looking for a high-volume party atmosphere, the best months are February and March – the peak of the American university’s spring break season. If a thrifty getaway is what you seek, late summer and early winter are most affordable. September and October should generally be avoided due to windy weather and the occasional tropical storm.

Cancun Lodging

Cancun is equipped with everything from luxury all-inclusive resorts to small, quaint inns. Reservations are always suggested, but they are essential from December through April; rooms during the last week in December and the first week in January are sold out months in advance.

Many Web sites allow you to check out the various accommodations, including Cancun Hotel Guide, Mexico Web and Cancun Online.

When selecting a hotel for your spring break Cancun vacation, start with the location. Generally speaking, the Hotel Zone has mostly high-rise hotels, but this is where it’s at when it comes to partying. With the Caribbean Sea to the east, Mujeres Bay to the north, and Nichupte Lagoon in the center, almost all options in the hotel zone have some type of beachfront property. The downtown area has less expensive and more intimate hotels, but you’ll need to take a bus or taxi to get to the beach.

Spring Break in Cancun Beaches

Cancun’s famed beaches suffered damage and erosion during Hurricane Wilma in 2005, but a $71 million effort restored them. Strong currents and undertows flow offshore and visitors should always heed warning flags at lifeguard stations–yellow, red and black flags signify rising degrees of caution with black advising visitors to stay out of the water. The safest beaches are located on the north side of the causeway leading to Cancun City. The southernmost beaches, where the newest resorts are located, have the strongest offshore current.

Cancun Beach Descriptions

Cancun Beaches Cancun Mexico Spring BreakCancun’s hotel zone is shaped like the number seven, as you can see from the small map to the right.

At the top of the “7” is the Bahia de Mujeres – the northern end of the hotel zone.  Beaches here are beautiful turquoise-blue with white sand, shallow for some distance out, and have little or no surf, making them great for swimming, snorkeling and other water sports.

To the right of the “7” is the Caribbean sea.  The beaches here also have beautiful turquoise waters and white sand, and also have surf.  Be especially careful on these beaches fronting the open Caribbean, where the undertow can be quite dangerous at times.  In general, the best Caribbean-side beaches are found from the Sheraton and south.

To the left of the “7”is the Nichupte Lagoon.  It is a salt-water lagoon, and is generally not good for swimming.  During the day, the Nichupte becomes a water sports haven, and many marinas offer jet skiing, sailing, kayaking, parasailing, windsurfing, water-skiing, and jungle tours.

Yes, there are even crocodiles in parts of the lagoon!  However, Cancun’s crocodiles are non-aggressive species that feed on fish and other small wildlife. It is estimated that no more than twenty-five adult crocodiles live in the 5,000-hectare-lagoon system, most of them in areas distant from tourist activities except where they are fed by restaurants as a tourist attraction.

Cancun Public Beach Access

While all beaches in Cancun are technically public (owned by the government), you may not be able to access the beach by walking through a hotel, which is private property.  Visitors staying in hotels that are not on the beach can access the beaches at any of the 10 public-access entries to the beach.

Playa Ballenas – Public entrance is a sidewalk along the Meridien Hotel wall fence.  Incredible views, and peaceful sunbathing. Keep an eye on the warning flags, however, as the currents can be quite dangerous any time of the year.  At kilometer 14 in the Hotel Zone, in between Punta Cancun and Punta Nizuc.

Playa Caracol/Playa Las Palmas – Entrance is hard to locate.  Go through the small wood gate next to Fiesta Americana Coral Beach. Also accessible through Xcaret bus terminal. Near Punta Cancun, ideal for children or beginner swimmers. One of the nicer beaches because of its flat shallow sand bed. Located at 8.5 km in the Hotel Zone.

Playa Chac Mool – Public entrance is across the street from Señor Frog’s. Public beach with changing area, handy restaurants.  Be advised however that the currents are strong and it’s tempting to wade too far out into the shallow water.  Good water sports area – sail-boarding, water skiing and parasailing. Located kilometer 10 in the Hotel Zone, near Punta Cancun.

Playa Delfines – Peaceful sunbathing and breathtaking views.  However it also offers dangerous swimming conditions in the strong surf and sometimes treacherous currents.  There are some stone benches for sitting and contemplating the sea, but no other facilities.  At kilometer 18 in the Hotel Zone, near Punta Nizuc.

Playa Juventud – Here is a nice place for swimming and a good place for water sports. Located off of Kukulcan Boulevard at km. 3 in the Hotel Zone.

Playa Langosta – Excellent swimming.  Situated in the middle of the north end of the Hotel Zone and facing Bahia de Mujeres, you can find some of the best swimming that Cancun has to offer at Playa Langosta. Lots of beach restaurants and bars. Located at km. 5 of the Hotel Zone. A dock with shuttles to Isla Mujeres and other tours located here too

Playa Las Perlas –  Another nice place for swimming and a good place for water sports. There are restaurants and bars on the beach. It is located at kilometer 2.5  in the Hotel Zone.

Playa Linda – Excellent swimming. Close to downtown and facing Bahia de Mujeres.  Some of the best swimming in all of Cancun.  Restaurants, changing rooms.  Playa Linda’s dock is the departure point for submarine and dive tours. Located at kilometer 4 in the Hotel Zone.

Playa Marlin – Public entrance behind Kukulcan Plaza. Sunbather’s delight. Well known for its incredible, expansive views and peaceful sunbathing.   Keep an eye on the warning flags however, as the currents can be dangerous.  Located at kilometer 13 in the Hotel Zone, in between Punta Cancun and Punta Nizuc.

Playa Tortugas – Public entrance is next to Fat Tuesday’s. Good swimming here, and perfect for water sports. A number of restaurants and refreshment bars located here too. Located at kilometer 6.5 in the Hotel Zone. Dock offering shuttles to Isla Mujeres and other tours
