Check out this list of the best things to do in Cancun, including the best beaches and places nearby.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you think of beaches, an image of Cancun soon comes to mind. Known for its extraordinary views framed by fine sand and the blue sea, this incredible place has even more to offer (and something for every taste).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Life in Cancun can be shortly described as something out of a movie where people drink margaritas by the sea, shop in exuberant malls, go on day trips to ancient ruins, hang out with friends at cool nightclubs \u2014 and the best part: repeat it all over again the next day. So get ready!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to explore Cancun and all of its little corners is to rent a car and drive around. Plan your days well, as you\u2019ll see they\u2019ll go very fast. If you\u2019re planning your visit to Cancun, compare the best car rental companies around on Rentcars.com and enjoy the best offers.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Best_things_to_do_in_Cancun\"><\/span><strong>Best things to do in Cancun<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Playa_Delfines\"><\/span><strong>1. Playa Delfines<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just 15 minutes from the airport, the Delfines beach is one of the most visited in Cancun and where an wooden balcony offers a panoramic and incredible view of the region. Definitely one of the tourist\u2019s favorite points of interest.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also where most pictures you\u2019ve seen from Cancun are taken, at the Hotel Zone. You\u2019ve definitely seen this, right?<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rentcars.com\/content-page\/uploads\/2019\/12\/playa-delfines.jpg\" alt=\"aerial view of zona hotelera in cancun mexico\" class=\"wp-image-18963\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great place to stay at least for one morning or afternoon, as this isn\u2019t just one of the most popular beaches in Cancun for no reason. Here you\u2019ll find white and fine sand, followed by the sea. The beach is very wide, so there\u2019s a place for everyone to enjoy!<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re a history fan, you can spend an afternoon at the Mayan Museum of Cancun (Museo Maya de Canc\u00fan), just a short drive from the beach. A good alternative for rainy or cloudy days.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Isla_Mujeres\"><\/span><strong>2. Isla Mujeres<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To go to Isla Mujeres you\u2019ll need to take a ferry from Puerto Juarez, near Playa Tortugas and Playa las Perlas. Crossing takes around 15 minutes and boats depart from 5 am to 9.30 pm every 30 minutes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There, there\u2019s a lot to see. Mostly, you\u2019ll be spending time at Playa Norte and Punta Sur, two of the most popular places to be.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At Playa Norte, you have to make time not only for the beach, but also for the Parador Fotogr\u00e1fico, where you can take pictures near a sign with the name of the island and enjoy panoramic views of the sea.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rentcars.com\/content-page\/uploads\/2019\/12\/punta-sur-isla-mujeres.jpg\" alt=\"aerial view of punta sur in isla mujeres in cancun mexico\" class=\"wp-image-18966\"\/><figcaption>Aerial view of Punta Sur.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>At Punta Sur, there are three points of interest: the <em>mirador<\/em> and the <em>Vista P\u00fablica<\/em>, from where you\u2019ll be able to see the incredible blueish-green sea of the Caribbean, and the Garrafon Natural Reef Park, where you\u2019ll find not only natural beauty, but also a zip line for the adventurous ones.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Playa_del_Carmen\"><\/span><strong>3. Playa del Carmen<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just over an hour from downtown Cancun, Playa del Carmen is well worth the ride.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rentcars.com\/content-page\/uploads\/2019\/12\/playa-del-carmen.jpg\" alt=\"the beach at playa del carmen near cancun in mexico\" class=\"wp-image-18969\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond the beaches and the nightlife, in Playa del Carmen you can visit the Calle Quinta Avenida for some great shopping, the Parque Los Fundadores to see some incredible sculptures, the 3D Museum of Wonders for some illusions and much more.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our tip is to visit one of the cenotes of the area, which are natural pools and quite common in the area of Yucat\u00e1n. The most famous one is the Cenote Chaak Tun, where you can take a guided tour that includes all the necessary equipment for a safe visit.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Tulum\"><\/span><strong>4. Tulum<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another hour on the road and you\u2019ll arrive in Tulum, one of the last areas to be built and inhabited by the Mayans. Its ancient ruins by the sea are the biggest attraction, but you can also enjoy the beach and the cenotes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most famous beaches are Playa Paraiso and Playa Pescadores, from where you can see the ancient ruins from Tulum\u2019s National Park.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rentcars.com\/content-page\/uploads\/2019\/12\/tulum.jpg\" alt=\"beach in tulum with mayan ruins in the back\" class=\"wp-image-18972\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular cenote in the area is the <em>Gran Cenote<\/em>, with clear waters and beautiful colors. Some turtles live there, so the use of sunscreens and other products alike is prohibited to protect them. If you can, try to go during weekdays, as the weekends tend to be very crowded.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Chichen_Itza\"><\/span><strong>5. Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1 is the only place on the list that isn\u2019t on the sea side, but it\u2019s for good reason. Located 91 miles from Tulum or 125 miles from Cancun, this is a must visit place when you go to Mexico.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1 is one of the new seven wonders of the world, along with places like the Great Wall of China and Taj Mahal. The most popular sight of this ancient Mayan city is the Temple of Kukulcan (or El Castillo).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rentcars.com\/content-page\/uploads\/2019\/12\/chichen-itza.jpg\" alt=\"el castillo in chich\u00e9n itz\u00e1 ancient ruins mexico\" class=\"wp-image-18975\"\/><figcaption>El Castillo (Temple of Kukulcan).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The site is enormous, as you can imagine, so there\u2019s much more to see you have the time (and, please, make time!). Most notably, El Caracol and Templo de los Guerreros are worth the visit.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Playa_Tortugas\"><\/span><strong>6. Playa Tortugas<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Playa Tortugas is also one of the most famous ones in Cancun. Its waters are calm and warm, very inviting! The beach itself is not as wide, but has good structure, kiosks and toilets available.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tortugas is also very known for Centro Tortugas, where the ferry boats to Isla Mujeres depart and arrive all day from and to Puerto Juarez.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.rentcars.com\/content-page\/uploads\/2019\/12\/playa-tortugas-cancun.jpg\" alt=\"pedestrian cross to puerto juarez\" class=\"wp-image-18978\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For the most adventurous ones, this is also where you can bungee jump and parasail. Just go to the Adventure Bay, where these and other high adrenaline activities are offered.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another great idea is to visit the Cancun Rotating Scenic Tower (Torre Escenica), which is the tallest building in the Mexican Caribbean and offers an incredible panoramic view of the city.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> if you\u2019re travelling with kids, take a little walk to the Playa las Perlas. This one is perfect for the little ones, as the waters are much calmer and look like pool from a distance.<br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cancun is where you go to visit many of the most incredible beaches in the world.
