MEXICO BEST PLACES FOR FAMILY BEACH HOLIDAYS

Mexico offers a great chance to combine resort amenities, beautiful beaches, plus cultural interest. Families
love to vacation at beach resorts in Mexico, especially at all-inclusives that offer watersports, kids
programmes, entertainment, and of course meals, snacks, and drinks. Below find several of Mexico's best
spots.

1. Mexico's Best: Mayan Riviera The 130 km stretch of coast south of Cancun
extending to Tulum is arguably Mexico's best destination for family beach holidays. All-inclusive resorts dot
the coast, with all the usual amenities plus some elaborate pool complexes. Outings are terrific: snorkelling
on the second-largest barrier reef in the world; visiting the extensive ruins at Tulum and Coba, where kids
learn about Mayan history; day-trips to the unique «есо-archeological» theme park, Xcaret, or sister park
Xel-ha, or to «cenotes»... So much to do.

2. Mazatlan for Families Moving over to Mexico's west coast: Mazatlan has been one
of Mexico's best tourist draws for decades, and has long stretches of beach, a historic downtown, a busy
tourist zone, an aquarium, water park, and reputation for sportfishing. Families can find a couple of «playas»
(beaches) with calm waters; in other areas, kids can learn to surf.

3. Puerto Vallarta for Families South of Mazatlan and north of Acapulco, about mid-
way on Mexico's Pacific coast, Puerto Vallarta has nearly 30 miles of golden sand. Watersports include
snorkelling and surfing, plus kayaking, windsurfing, parasailing, sportfishing. Visitors can explore an old
town with cobblestone streets, and ogle the mansions that belonged to Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton
back in the days when they put «PV» on the map. Jungle and canopy tours are nearby.

4. Riviera Nayarit Until recently, the stretch of Mexico's west coast north of Puerto
Vallarta was an off-the-beaten-path area where surfers might go for an unspoiled break. Now, this 130-mile
stretch of coast and lush tropics is called the «Riviera Nayarit», and more visitors are coming to enjoy its
white-sand beaches, many of which have good surfing. Some resorts have been built, but development is still
at an early stage — which may be just what some families want. (And you can find serious pampering, plus
kids' club, at the Four Seasons Resort Punta Mita.)

5. Los Cabos The long Baja California peninsula extends about half-way down the
west side of Mexico, and at the bottom tip sits this popular vacation spot. Los Cabos has two «Cabos»
(«Capes»): San Jose del Cabo, and (the party town) Cabo San Lucas, connected by a 17-mile «Corridor»
with resorts and golf courses. Los Cabos offers whale-watching in winter; some good snorkelling;
horseriding; and sightseeing in the artists' town of Todos Santos. Currents can be strong at the beaches, so
choose your resort carefully if you want a swimmable beach.
