Cancun, Mexico beach guide & holiday information
Loading...
Cancún, a coastal city on the Yucatán Peninsula in Quintana Roo, Mexico's most eastern state, was cultivated during the 1970s when bold schemers decided to surpass Acapulco with a spanking new, world-class resort. What started out as a little fishing town has become a worldwide phenomenon, a party city that rivals the best in the world and draws over 4 million visitors per year. The Cancún region is referred to as the Mexican Caribbean on the Yucatán Channel across from the island of Cuba.

The city centre is on the mainland which connects the lagoons of Nichupté and Bojórquez to a slender island shaped like a '7' where most of the luxury resorts and diverse assortment of beachfront accommodation can be found. This top vacation destination is not everybody's favourite however and certainly is for the stout of heart. Whatever it is you bring to Cancún, it can handle it, the question is, can you handle Cancún? Population for the city of Cancun is around 542,156
