By Ricardo d Argence

For the travelers that are thinking of taking a holiday in Mexico, you will love the pristine beaches that are around the hotel zone in Cancun. The beaches were restored to their beauty by over two hundred people after a violent storm carried much of the sand away. Visitors that spend time on these beaches agree that they are fantastic.

The accommodations of the various resorts are inviting and luxurious just as the beaches are.

After the restoration of the beaches they appear to be about 50% bigger that what they were before the storms damaged them. The visitors that come to these beaches are able to enjoy the additional space when they take part in all of the activities that are offered.

The beaches that are sheltered from the strong currents of the Caribbean by the Isla Mujeres are commonly referred to as the north side beaches. The visitors that come to the beach will be pleased to discover that the wave and wind conditions are very calm. These conditions make it perfect to enjoy swimming and other family activities.

Vacationers that like to take part in water sports might like the beaches on the east side.

Located at the beginning of the Hotel Zone where the land stretches into the Caribbean you will find Playa Las Perlas, this is a very popular beach for all swimming and water sport enthusiasts, close by are plenty of bars and restaurants.

Playa Linda is a beach on the north side an area where there are many tourist destinations; because of the calm crystal clear water here, this beach is ideal for family water sports. Those of you who enjoy scuba diving will enjoy the tours on offer in this area.
