Cancun Captions

As one of the top tourist destinations in Mexico, Cancun is more than a piece of paradise for Mexicans. People from the US and all around the world flock to Cancun for a yearly dose of sun, the Caribbean, and greatly deserved smooth relaxation.

Regardless of whether you or someone else is the “photo guy/gal” in your family or crew, you can rest assured that you’ll have quite the collection for your social media profiles. But what good is a ton of photos without awesome captions to enhance your posts?

Beach Captions

Let’s start off with probably the largest chunk of your Cancun photos. You haven’t come to take a dip in the sea, you’ve come to bask in the beauties of the Caribbean, so the beach is likely your hotspot here. Some say that the beauty of Cancun can’t be put into words, but they sure can be.

When coming up with Cancun beach captions, always keep the summer in mind. Summer vibes are what keeps your followers hungry for more posts, and this ”feel” should be reflected in your captions. Consider adding cool emojis of beach towels, sunshades, the sun, beach slippers, etc. Fun, relaxation, and sunlight are your main keywords here.

Mayan Ruins Captions

Modern as Cancun is, you would be amiss to stick with the city 24/7 during your holiday. As it turns out, Cancun has a lot of history to offer, with its ancient roots stretching far into the past. The remnants of the Mayan culture won’t leave you indifferent. Do not miss out on the awesome ruins of Tulum, Chichen Itza, and Coba, but don’t forget to photo-document it all.

As a naturally sunny area, Cancun is a perfect place to snap pictures of the wild that meets an ancient culture. Captions, however, are almost half the job here, even on Instagram. Feel free to write down some key stuff that your guide is talking about, for inspiration.
