Playa Linda is on one of the banks of the well-known Siegfried Canal, which connects the Nichupte Lagoon with the Caribbean Sea. One of the interesting points of the Zona Hotelera from Cancun.

The Nichupté lagoon is the natural border between the city of Cancun and its Zona Hotelera, two environments that feed but live on the sidelines. The lagoon has two exits to the sea, the Siegfried canal and Nizuc channel.

These inputs and outputs change color according to the direction of the water flow during the day. Both channels are used for sailing and other activities such as kayaking or paddle board, increasingly fashionable. These two areas of the canals are crowded points, even to bathe in them (just remind you that crocodiles live in these waters).
