Not just for spring breakers, Cancun is a premier destination for young and old, families and singles. Clear, sparkling water and miles of white, sandy beaches dotted with gently swaying palm trees beckon visitors seeking seaside serenity, while more adventurous visitors enjoy a wide range of outdoor activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, kayaking and jet-skiing. There's no shortage of indoor fun as well, as Cancun is well-known for its vibrant and exciting nightclubs and features a host of world-class restaurants. Add impressive accommodations, never-ending festivals and ample indoor and outdoor shopping, and who wouldn't want to visit Cancun?
It may never rain in southern California, but it does in Cancun, with more than 10 inches of rain during a typical September - the region's rainiest month. However, rainfall during most times of the year is significantly less, especially from January through May when the average monthly rainfall is less than two inches. So there's plenty of sunshine, and with an average daily high of 82 degrees F during summer and 73 degrees F during winter, Cancun has a milder climate than Los Angeles. Gentle Caribbean trade winds ensure a pleasant breeze most of the year.
Looking for the cheapest flight for your visit to Cancun? Let Cheapflights help you with that. Our search engine finds the best deals from around the web, saving you time and money.
