Is Cancun an Island?

Yes and no. The Hotel Zone is an island that’s connected to the mainland, where downtown is located. If you look at a map or an overhead image, you’ll see that the island portion is long, narrow, and curved. The Caribbean washes the shore on one side, and a calm, protected lagoon sits inside the island’s curve.
