By Ricardo d Argence

Those of you who are going to holiday in Mexico will be pleasantly surprised at the beautiful beaches around Cancun's hotel zone. A storm carried a lot of the sand away but it is now thankfully restored thanks to over 200 hundred people helping to restore these fantastic beaches.

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

The beaches, after being rebuilt, seem 50% bigger than what they used to be. This gives all the visitors to this lovely area a lot more space to relax and enjoy all the activities that are on offer.

Those beaches that extend into the Caribbean are often referred to as the north side beaches; these beaches are sheltered from the strong Caribbean current by Isla Mujeres. Those who visit this beach will find that in this area the wind and wave conditions are very mild ideal for family activities and swimming.

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

Playa Las Perlas can be found at the beginning of the Hotel Zone. This beach is popular for swimming as well as all water sports activities. There are plenty of restaurants and bars that beach goers can enjoy while relaxing at Playa Las Perlas.

Another beach on the north side that features crystal clear and calm waters is Playa Linda. This beach is home to many tourists destinations including scuba diving tours for the scuba enthusiast.

Playa Langosta and Playa Tortugas are two beaches that are known for their pristine sands and relaxing atmosphere. Many water sports enthusiasts flock to these beaches since the waves are more active than other areas making water skiing, boating and water skiing a blast.

The visitors that choose an east side beach will experience higher waves and breezier conditions than the beaches on the north side. However, there are some east side beaches that are known to be family friendly.

Playa Marlin, Gaviota Azul and Chac Mool are probably the most northern on the east side of the hotel zone, though the beaches may not seem as glamorous as other beaches. Due to the high wave action, these beaches are popular for people who enjoy para-sailing, and windsurfing.
