The beaches of Cancun, Riviera Maya and elsewhere in the Mexican Caribbean are looking beautiful. They are free of sargassum and have been for months. You can check on the Royal Resorts beaches every day by clicking on the webcams for the Cancun resorts, The Royal Haciendas and Grand Residences.

The authorities are planning for the spring and summer in case patches of sargassum approach the Mexican Caribbean shoreline. One of the six sargassum-collecting boats known as sargaceras commissioned by the Mexican Navy has already arrived in Cancun and will be deployed if needed.
