Yucatan Peninsula
Cancun
Maybe this is Mexico's most famous resort town, and with good reason. In addition to world-class resorts, stunning beaches, there is also breathtaking natural beauty and lots of things to do while you're spending your vacation here. Cancun has it all. For a place with so many many annual tourists, Cancun has managed to remain pleasant and beautiful in spite of being inundated by over three million tourists each year. Accommodations are unbeatable, beaches are spotless, it's easy to get here, and there are good bargains to be found by any traveller seeking to do almost anything. To top it off, English is spoken throughout the resort town, and dollars are accepted, so the tourist from USA will feel right at home with minimal effort.
Cancun's airport is large and convenient to town, and there are direct flights on several airlines from the US. The major car rental agencies are well-represented at Cancun's airport, and taxis are also abundant if you need one.
Aside from beaches, watersports, fishing and shopping, you can also take a day trip to Isla Mujeres, an island just 8 miles from shore, where you'll find El Garrafon Natural Park. If you like snorkeling you should go. You can get there via ferry, shuttle boat, watertaxi, or pleasure boat trips. There's an airport here, and plenty of resorts to stay at.
Cozumel
Cozumel is another island off the coast of the Yucatan near Cancun, and worth the trip if you have time. The pace is slower and quieter here, and you can get around on a moped. It's 12 miles off the coast, and larger than Isla Mujeres, and choices in accommodations are plenty. Cozumel is particularly popular with divers, ranking among top five diving places in the world. Large reefs here to explore. There's a national park called Chankanaab National Park, which has a quaint land-locked sea connected to the ocean by an underwater tunnel. You can't snorkel here, but you can relax on their beach. Also, don't miss Punta Sur Ecological Reserve, with Columbia Lagoon. Good beaches and snorkeling but since it's a preserve and not a park, not much else. Natural beauty.
