What is the Cancún Beach Reclamation Project?
Miles of Cancún’s powder-white sands were washed out to sea in the hurricane. Work to restore the beaches on the ‘wave’ side – from Punta Cancún to Punta Nizuc (view a map) – began on January 16th and is scheduled to be finished by the end of April 2006. By April 1st, the beach had been widened from Punta Nizuc, all the way to the Gran Caribe Real. Follow the progress of the beach recovery project here… and timeline. Much of the area west of Punta Cancún towards downtown (facing the Bahía de Mujeres) has actually had its beaches expanded by the hurricane. View photo taken in front of the Riu Caribe on Feb. 21st.
