Cancun Photo Hotspots


4 minute read

Cancun is a tropical paradise known for its near perfect weather, beautiful beaches and out of this world nightlife, so it’s no surprise that there are photo opportunities pretty much everywhere you turn. It’s a given that you’ll get plenty of great pictures of the beach and some fun selfies in the clubs but if you’re looking for that perfect Instagram worthy shot, you’ve come to the right place because we’ve got a list of a few spots you do not want to miss! “Cancun” Sign: This famous tourist attraction is in the Mirador viewpoint which is known to have some of the best views in the city and the most amazing public beach in Cancun; Playa Delfines. The sign, which attracts thousands of visitors daily, features bright, life size letters and the clear blue ocean water makes for THE best backdrop for this can’t miss photo op! Were you really in Cancun if you didn’t get a photo here? Sea Walls: The Sea Walls: Artists for Oceans public art project was created to bring the message of ocean conservation into streets by collaborating with street artists around the globe. These larger than life murals can be found throughout Cancun and besides making for some great photos, they also raise awareness around environmental issues plaguing our oceans. You don't want to miss The Sea Walls, so keep your eyes peeled as you sightsee or you might miss one! Punta Cancun Lighthouse: This spot is one that most tourists don’t even know exists as it is a bit of a walk to get to, but so worth it because the view is amazing! To get to the lighthouse, you first need to go to Playa Caracol in the Hotel Zone, as this is the nearest point with public access. From there, the lighthouse is about a fifteen-minute walk by the beach and may require permission from the resort in the area to walk across it’s private beach. Hotel security can be tricky but just let them know you want to photograph the lighthouse! Besides being a great photo op, the sunsets are spectacular on that part of the coastline and you can climb to the top of the lighthouse to snap the most epic panoramic photo of Cancun! La Isla Shopping Mall: This iconic open-air shopping area is in the heart of the Hotel Zone and features luxury shopping, and a restaurant row overlooking the Nichupte Lagoon (which is a photo op in itself)! Here you can find a Venice style canal, a ferris wheel and even an aquarium, which are all the perfect backdrop for that one of a kind Instagram pic! Already booked your VIP packages with After Dark?
