Caribbean Tip of Sand
As the ships come into the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea they will pass Cancun. If they are smart they will stop and spend a little time unwinding from the sway on the light white sandy beaches. They can find a Cancun hotel right on the beachfront and relax.
This area is as old as it gets. It is known as the Mayan Coast as it sits on the Peninsula of Yucatan. Of course the name comes from its previous inhabitants the Mayans who had settlements from Brava to Punta Allen. They were people who were very advanced in their knowledge of the earth and the sky. They have built what seemed to be the unbuildable for their time and they predicted things that only time will tell if its true. The Spaniards came to the area in 1519 and they have built this area up to what it is today. The country of Mexico finally realized that tourism was a very important ingredient to keeping their economy strong so they slated Cancun as a great place to invest. They have been pulling in investment dollars since around 1967. This helped them fund the addition of entertainment and accommodations to the area.
Visitors should spend time both sides of the area. The north side is were all the tourist resorts are with their amazing developments. This is were you can find all the party, shopping, planned trips and accommodations. The south side is where the small little quaint villages are surrounded by untouched beaches. The second largest reef in the world, the Gran Arrecife Maya, can be accessed from the south side. This is also the area to explore many deep sea caverns, caves and under water rivers. Better get your Padi scuba divers license. Then grab a knowledgable guide to get the right gear and take you out into the wonders of the local seas or forest. There is so much nature here in Cancun Mexico to take in.
