MUSAis an art museum with galleries located directly on the seabed, situated in the Caribbean Sea between Cancun, Mexico, and Isla Mujeres. Led by British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor, hundreds of life-sized human sculptures have been submerged on the seabed, scattered across underwater exhibition areas of varying depths. The masterpiece "The Silent Evolution" consists of hundreds of statues in various poses, resembling a silent crowd standing on the seabed. There are also interesting works such as a life-sized Volkswagen Beetle, which creates an intriguing contrast with the human statues. A unique feature of the museum is that the statues are made of materials that encourage coral growth. Over time, they have gradually grown coral and attracted schools of fish, effectively evolving into artificial reefs. One of its original purposes was to divert tourists from natural coral reefs, bringing art and marine conservation together. There are flexible ways to view the museum: you can scuba dive to get a close look at the statues, snorkel to overlook their outlines from the surface, or take a glass-bottom boat to view them through the hull, allowing you to see the underwater sculpture collection without even getting into the water. The shallow exhibition areas are suitable for snorkeling and glass-bottom boat viewing, while the deeper areas are the domain of scuba diving enthusiasts. Before you set off, you might want to decide how you would like to experience this underwater art.Isla Mujeres · 4.7 km from downtown

The Underwater Museum in Cancun is about 10 meters below the sea surface. There are many mysterious statues and car remains on the seabed. These are the remains of people who sank to the bottom of the sea at that time. Now the surface is covered with thick seaweed, which has become a very famous underwater ruins. Every year, many diving enthusiasts come to explore it. It is a very popular attraction in Cancun.

For beach lovers, Isla Mujeres has a lot to offer at relatively reasonable prices. You can snorkel with tropical fish among the coral reefs or paddle a kayak or a small boat across the azure waters.

Most of Cancun's beaches are privately owned by hotels, with only Dolphin Beach and Turtle Beach being free public beaches. Located at the northern entrance to the hotel area, near the beginning of the "7" shape, these beaches are mainly frequented by locals for picnics and relaxation. The sand quality here is relatively poor.

Dolphin Beach is quite interesting. You can see a lot of scenery on the beach. You need to take a boat to see the dolphins. A large number of dolphins are playing and playing here. There are very few buildings on the entire beach. They are all pure natural things. [Scenery] The scenery is very beautiful [Value for money] Very cost-effective

Punta Sur has such a beautiful deep blue sea :) It was nice that there was a short walking path so I could go to the cliff and see the sea :)
