The Riviera Maya is a collection of all-inclusive resorts, small boutique hotels and fantastic restaurants that straddle Mexico\u2019s Caribbean coast along the coastal highway 307.<\/p>\n<p>Canc\u00fan is a popular tourist destination due to the wide variety of aquatic activities available in the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef,\u00a0which stretches for over 1000km towards Guatemala. This is the largest coral reef in the Western Hemisphere and the second longest barrier reef in the world. The shallow coral reefs and crystal clear waters make it one of the best locations for snorkeling and scuba diving in the world.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Screen-shot-2012-11-20-at-12.50.25.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-8954\" title=\"Cancun\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Screen-shot-2012-11-20-at-12.50.25.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"297\" height=\"197\" \/><\/a>On top of more than 500 species of fish, divers and snorkelers have the opportunity to visit the Canc\u00fan Underwater Museum. This is a series of more than 400 sculptures by British artist Jason de Caires Taylor,\u00a0which have been placed underwater in the Canc\u00fan National Marine Park at depths from 9-20 feet. If you don&#8217;t feel like diving or snorkeling, however, you could always relax on one of the many fantastic beaches such as Playa Caracol or Playa Langosta.<\/p>\n<p>The northern areas of the reef system near Isla Contoy (only a short journey by boat from Canc\u00fan) are home to the largest fish on the planet, the Whale Shark. During the summer, hundreds of Whale Sharks gather here to take advantage of the plankton rich waters, which are created at the border of the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Screen-shot-2012-11-20-at-12.49.23.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-8951\" title=\"AGUILA yacht charter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.boatbookings.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/Screen-shot-2012-11-20-at-12.49.23-300x219.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"219\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Canc\u00fan is also one of the most popular sportfishing destinations in the world.
