Top Things to Do in Cancun, Mexico
Enjoy a beach day in the hotel zone
There's no shortage of beautiful coastlines in Cancun's hotel zone. The water is so beautiful, and you truly won't want to leave.
Watch the sunrise over the ocean
This doesn't even need words. Definitely plan to wake up and watch the sunrise while you're there!
Spend 1-3 days on Isla Mujeres
The small island of Isla Mujeres is truly a beautiful place. You can take the ferry over and back in the same day, but I would recommend staying overnight at least one night so you have more time to explore and enjoy the island.
Go on a day trip to surrounding areas
From Cancun, it's very easy and accessible to go to many surrounding areas and sites, like Chichén Itzá, Tulum, Playa Del Carmen, Isla Holbox, and many more. All are accessible by booking a group tour, and now that train connects more of the region.
