Cancun

The salt spray stings my skin as the boat cuts through the Caribbean , leaving a trail of turquoise foam against the deep indigo of the open sea. My hair is matted with brine, and the scent of seaweed and sun-warmed wood fills the air as we head toward the horizon. Cancun is defined by this interface between the land and the sea, where the limestone shelf drops off into the depths. Why Cancun is Perfect for Water Activities # The geography of this region creates a unique environment for those who want to spend their time on or under the surface. The proximity to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef means that the marine life is dense and varied, while the inland cenotes offer a completely different geological experience. The water temperature rarely drops below 78 degrees Fahrenheit, making it comfortable to spend long hours in the ocean without a thick wetsuit.
