The average temperature in Canc?n is 27? C (80? F) with more than 240 days of sunshine, and rain is rare. The beaches are almost 100 percent limestone; the porous quality of the limestone makes for cool sand even under the intense tropical sun. Canc?n is divided into two parts: The narrow 23-kilometer-long (14-mile) island section (Canc?n Island) is lined with modern beachfront hotels surrounded by the Bah?a de Mujeres (Bay of Women), the Caribbean Sea, and the Nichupte and Bojorquez lagoons. The mainland downtown commercial section (Canc?n City), connected to the island by two bridges, has broad avenues lined with whitewashed shops, restaurants, and hotels.
