If you needed an official excuse to plan a trip to Cancun, out of a thousand reasons why you should visit Cancun, here are 6 of them. From beach and tropical attractions to high-end entertainment, you can live the Cancun experience any way you want.
Sargassum Season Is Almost Over In Cancun
Municipal authorities now have several methods to contain the little amount of sargassum that is predicted to come to Cancun in the rest of this year. Authorities in Tulum have set up several sargassum containment barriers, whilst Cancun and Playa del Carmen have continued to use sargassum removal boats to monitor and dispose of excess seaweed.
Today you can enjoy sargassumm-free beaches in most of these locations. In Cancun Playa Delfines and Playa San Miguelito, which are the most popular for locals and tourists, are as beautiful as they could be and ready to welcome visitors! And even if sargassum comes back, which it normally does, despite the time of the year, there’ll always be a beach free of seaweed in Cancun.
