Cancun's location makes it best for snorkeling, scuba diving, windsurfing, parasailing, and boating aside from swimming and walking by the shores. The whole area of Cancun is lined with resorts that offer almost all the water sports you can think of. Visit Riu Cancun, Xel-Ha, Aqua World, Wet'n Wild, Aqua Fun and other world-class beach resorts.

Cozumel is one these places where one can fully take advantage of Cancun. Cozumel is an island a ferry away from the Cancun proper. Local Mayans still live and thrive in this island allowing visitors to have a real taste of Cancun's origins. In Cozumel, tourists are presented with snorkeling, scuba diving and shopping options. Meet a vast and wondrous marine life around the island and take pictures of its undisturbed coral reefs. Before leaving, make sure to buy one or two souvenir products which may not be as cheap once you leave the island, because it is here in Cozumel where these products are mainly produced or made.

On your next stop, experience a memorable encounter with dolphins at Mexican Caribbean! It's not everyday that you will get a chance to swim with these marvelous creatures. Teach them tricks, learn from theirs and touch their delicate body.

See some of the famous ruins of pre-Columbian Maya civilization in Cancun's hotel zone. This archaeological site can be found within the area but Ruinas del Rey is the most visited. Other ruins can be found elsewhere in Mexico.
