Wine Facts
The beaches are almost 100 percent
limestone; the porous quality of the limestone makes for cool sand
even under the intense tropical sun.
Cancun is divided into two parts: The narrow 23-kilometer-long
(14-mile) island section (Cancun Island) is lined with modern
beachfront hotels surrounded by the Bahía de Mujeres (Bay of Women),
the Caribbean Sea, and the Nichupte and Bojorquez lagoons.
The mainland downtown commercial
section (Cancun City), connected to the island by two bridges,
has broad avenues lined with whitewashed shops, restaurants, and
hotels.
