In the Mexican Caribbean the beaches are still busy even though the slow season is now underway and along with many other tourists still soaking up the sun, American actress Bella Thorne was spotted enjoying Cancun’s beaches too. She was seen taking advantage of the good weather and ample sunshine by spending some time on the beach and on a yacht with friends. Ms. Thorne shared some pictures of her Cancun activities on her own Instagram page.
The actress is most known for starring in a Disney show as a child, called Shake It Up, in which she portrayed a young backup dancer. Since then she has been in approximately 40 commercials and more than 20 TV shows and movies over the years. Although her schedule must surely be busy with everything that she has going on, Bella Thorne always seems to find time for some rest, relaxation, and fun in Mexico.
Over the last few years there have been multiple posts shared by Ms. Thorne on her Instagram of her in different Mexican cities. Earlier this year she was in Cabo with her then fiancé, actor and singer Ben Mascolo, that she has since split up with. And last January she posted on Instagram that she was in Cancun with her two sisters, mother, fiancé, and a number of other people close to her that she took on vacation with her.
Cancun is a popular vacation destination for many famous Americans, and celebrities from other countries as well. It’s not uncommon to see a news story pop up that is announcing yet another well-known name seen soaking up the sun in Cancun. Brad Pitt, Steve Harvey, Jennifer Lopez, Naomi Watts, Jennifer Aniston, Jason Bateman, and Jessica Alba, just to name a few, have all spent time vacationing in the beautiful Mexican Caribbean city.
This year was a record-breaking year for Cancun tourism, as it has been gaining popularity among foreign travelers since around the middle of the pandemic. Mexico did not close its borders during that time so those who had had enough of sitting home, and had the means to do so, would escape to the beautiful Caribbean beaches of the Riviera Maya area. Particularly digital nomads that could work from home while soaking up the sun anywhere in the world would flock to the Mexican Caribbean, but the number of tourists taking shorter vacations increased too.
Cancun is not without its problems, like dealing with an excessive amount of seaweed washing up on the beaches in recent years, and a steady increase in crime over the years as well. But many tourists overlook these things, as there is plenty to enjoy in Cancun and despite the news stories tourists are generally safe in the city. This is particularly true in the Cancun Hotel Zone where, during the busy seasons, it is monitored by the military to ensure the safety of visitors.
On Bella Thorne’s Instagram page she can be seen catching some rays in a pink and yellow bikini but she looked like she had some fun too. A video on her page shows her jumping into the water from a yacht with her friends. The actress also posted images of herself in a colorful dress on a swing at a beach home.
As Cancun continues to grow, with more luxury hotels and five-star restaurants being added every year, it is likely that even more celebrities will visit the city in the future. So, for those that love spotting celebrities, Cancun may be the place to go.
