Beaches and Coastal Towns

The coastline from Cancun down to Tulum is defined by its turquoise waters and soft, white sand. Cancun itself is the hub of the region, featuring expansive resorts along the Hotel Zone. As you head south, the pace changes. Solidaridad is home to significant coastal complexes like the Grand Sirenis Riviera Maya Resort & Spa in Akumal, which is perfect for those who want to be close to the ocean.

Things to Do and How to Enjoy the Region

Watersports are a major draw; you can spend your days snorkelling in the warm Caribbean waters or simply taking a stroll through the town centres of Playa del Carmen or Puerto Morelos to find local crafts and souvenirs. If you enjoy history, the area around Tulum is well-known for its fascinating ruins, which provide a stunning backdrop of ancient architecture overlooking the sea.
