Cancun is Mexico's Most Popular Gay Friendly Beach

By Ricardo d Argence

The most beautiful part in a very beautiful place, the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico is the earthly paradise where you'll find Cancun. With its old and new cities connected by bridges set against the sand and surf, its an incredible place to visit.

The newest part has become the main part for tourists and has become a resort destination to accommodate the ever-growing number of visitors. It was in 1970 that the tourist trade began to boom and today, there are more the 600,000 people who reside here on the lovely shores of Cancun.

Most give credit to the turquoise colored water that reminds people of crystals and the soft white sandy beaches that entice people to keep coming back for more.

Mexico and Cancun in particular have also found great popularity with gay vacationers. The country has a relaxed and friendly feel and tourists from all parts of the globe and of all walks of life are made to feel welcome here and of course, every tourist absolutely loves the spectacular beaches that Cancun has to offer.

Places such as Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta, were at the top of the list for hot gay friendly vacationing spots but Cancun has surpassed them by far. While these other spots in Mexico are still very popular, you will find that the majority of Gay friendly places can be found in Cancun. From beaches to resorts to the best in nightclubs, Cancun is the creme of the crop.

Cancun's Zona Hotelera is where you'll find the most popular hotels and resorts for tourists gay and straight alike. A short drive from this hotel strip, you can enjoy Cancun's active nightlife, with a large number of clubs to choose from.

Tourists tell us that the Karamba club is not to be missed. This club has been the go-to gay nightclub since the 1980's and remains one of the most popular in the entire country! With nightly shows and a large, constantly packed dance floor, this is the number one spot for dancing and nightlife in Cancun.

If you'd like to get away from the crowds and end your evening on a quieter note, then you'll want to pay a visit to Picante. It's much smaller than the Karamba, but this club still draws a diverse and friendly late night crowd and is not to be missed.

May might be the best time to visit if you're looking for gay-friendly cultural events. May is the month of Cancun's annual International Gay Festival; this event has been held for 5 years now and draws a large crowd.

If you prefer the wintertime for traveling then you may want to visit during the month of November when the annual Cancun Riviera Maya Gay Fall Festival takes place. Keep in mind that no matter what time of year you visit, there is always plenty of things to do and plenty of places to see.

One thing you do not want to miss while in Cancun would be a trip to the Mayan ruins, truly an extraordinary vision to behold. Cancun is definitely the hottest gay friendly beach in Mexico. - 29868
