Make sure you do your homework before you book your trip. Just got back from Cancun (9-8-18) and I've never seen this much seaweed anywhere. It was really thick in the water and the beach was 12" deep in seaweed. Website for seaweed forecast: SEAS Forecasting
Thanks for the helpful website link. Didn't know about that one. On the positive side, we've learned from experience that a healthy abundance of alcohol-fuelled dancing and partying with sexy friends can be an effective treatment for seaweed allergies Google searching confirms that 4 out of 5 doctors actually recommend it
We typically go in the ocean once per trip - just to legitimately say we did...then quickly back to the party!
Rome has some pretty good pizza though... just sayin'. Great metaphor (simile?) though! Liked it! Interesting side observation. The O/P Razor has 83 posts as of the current count, and not a single, meaning NO, likes. That's actually hard to do witht he fun-loving and supportive CCC crowd. Stacia has to go put her feet in the ocean every day when we go to TTR, seawood glom or not. I think it's icky, but she gets naked down there so it works out.
That's horrible! Exactly where was this photo taken? In front of a hotel? Planning to come to Cancun at the end of October. Hope it will be gone by then.
Zena, this is a photo from a recent article (August) that I found taken in the Hotel Zone. It wasn't this bad when i was there two weeks ago. They've been raking it up with tractors nearly everyday.
We went to the beach to kayak, paddle board and take a breather. Seaweed wasn’t bad, probably a foot wide and 4-5” deep. I’ve seen it much worse in other places. They cleaned it up a couple of times a day so it didnt build up too much.
