Atlantic and Pacific beaches, a melting pot of Spanish and indigenous cultures, and famously spicy cuisine are all part of what makes Mexico a great place to vacation. And there's so much to see and experience for visitors ranging from spring breakers to globetrotting sophisticates. First and foremost, Mexico is a beach destination. On the east coast is Cancun, one of the most popular vacation spots in the Caribbean. Its beaches are wide and spilling over with palapas, frozen drinks, and water sports. The beaches south of Cancun are quieter, making this a choice destination for honeymooners. Here you'll also find nature preserves, eco-parks, and the remarkable, ancient Mayan city of Tulum. Mexico's Pacific coast is fabulously diverse, with lively resort areas such as Acapulco and Puerto Vallarta, and more lightly-trodden places like Zihuatanejo, with its native markets and seaside promenade. Cabo San Lucas juts into the Pacific Ocean at the southernmost tip of Baja California and is known for its energetic party atmosphere and wide variety of hotels, bars, and restaurants.
