Cancun, the Hottest Gay Friendly Beach in Mexico

By Ricardo d Argence

If you travel to the Yucatan Peninsula, you will find the beautiful paradise known as Cancun. You will see that the older part of the city is joined by bridges to the newest part of Cancun.

It is the newer part of the city which has been a magnet for tourists, with a large and rapidly growing number of visitors coming to Cancun each year. The tourism industry really started to take off here in the early 1970s and led to the growth of the city to its current population of over 600,000 residents, each of whom counts themselves fortunate to live on Cancuns breathtakingly beautiful shoreline.

The stunning turquoise waters and soft white sand beaches are among Cancun's features which keep tourists returning to the city time and time again.

Mexico is constantly becoming increasing popular amongst the gay community as it has a very friendly atmosphere, welcoming people from all walks of life not to mention the breath taking beaches.

While of course Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta are also popular choices with gay tourists, Cancun has them both beat. The beauty of the city draws tourists gay and straight alike, but there is nowhere else in Mexico which has the number and quality of gay-friendly resorts and as much gay nightlife as does Cancun.

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 Cancuns active nightlife, with a large number of clubs to choose from.

The Karamba club is the most popular of Cancun's gay nightclubs. Its been around since the 80's and has been consistently popular since the day it first opened. The Karamba features nightly shows and has an enormous (and always packed) dance floor. If youre looking to go out dancing, this should be your first stop.

If you are looking for a club to end the night just right, then you may want to stop in at Picante. The dance floor is much, much smaller but when the end of the evening rolls around you will find this place packed with all walks of life.

If you are looking for some fun and exciting events to attend then you may want to visit in the month of May as Cancun hosts quite the shindig. This shindig is known as the Cancun International Gay Festival. This has been going strong for 5 years.

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.
