Wildlife
History
Cancún’s modern resort development began in the 1970s; the coastline you see from the air sits on a carbonate shelf shaped by sea-level changes and mangrove lagoon formation.
Conservation
Operators and visitors are encouraged to use reef-safe sunscreens and avoid disturbing marine life; nesting sea turtles use nearby beaches seasonally and benefit from reduced nighttime light.
