Six of Cancun’s beautiful white beaches received Blue Flag certification in early July in recognition of the cleanliness of the sand, the quality and transparency of the water and the facilities offered for beachgoers. The international blue flag is now flying at Playa Delfines, Playa Ballenas, Playa Marlin, Chac Mool, Las Perlas and Playa El Niño. Elsewhere in the state, a popular bathing spot in Bacalar and Playa Posada del Mar on Isla Mujeres were also awarded Blue Flag status.
In terms of beaches with blue flags Cancun is the undisputed leader in Mexico.
