Like a brilliant diamond sparkling in the Caribbean Sea, lies the island of Cancun, the crown jewel of Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula.

Under a balmy tropical sun and surrounded by colorful coral reefs, this emerald-green and turquoise blue Mecca attracts fun-loving tourists who delight in its white-sand beaches and warm Caribbean water.

With some of the best golf, snorkeling and scuba diving in the world, Cancun is well deserving of its reputation as a world-class sports wonderland.
