Isla Mujeres is an island in the Carribean Sea located eight miles off of the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, near Cancun Mexico.
The island is pretty small and it isn't too far to walk from the ferry ports to the main beaches. But to see more of the island, the best way to go is to rent a scouter. Like everything in Mexico, you should be able to haggle a decent price, just be sure to wear your helmet and watch out for the crazy drivers, though it is nothing like Cancun.
Isla Mujeres offers many water activities for all ages. Beautiful white sand beaches where you can rent water toys, kayaks and snorkeling gear. Diving and snorkeling in the crystal clear turquoise waters, sailing, fishing and even swimming with Dolphins and Sharks. Isla has something for everyone. Explore the natural wonders of the Mexican Caribbean.
What to do:
Beach Volleyball - Isla Mujeres has several fine stretches of beach. The northern end of the island is Playa Norte which has a wide swatch of sand that is lined with palm trees and also a few beachfront restaurants and bars. The soft white sand and level beach area make for an ideal beach volleyball court.
Garafon Park on the southern side of the island lacks a sandy beach but offers an area to swim around with the fish. The reef that lies within the protective buoys is dead, or very near it, and while there is a lot of fish, most of them have become trained to follow around the tourist with food.
