What do tourists wear in Cancun?

As for clothing, opt for lightweight, breathable fabrics. An airy sundress or breezy summer top with a skirt/shorts/light capris is perfect. Just remember the sunscreen and a sun hat! Some day trips to the ruins also include a visit to cenotes, so take your swimsuit and a spare pair of dry underwear and a bra.
