Isla Mujeres
Translated as “Island of Women”, Isla Mujeres is only about 9 miles (14 kilometers) northeast of Cancun. On the northern tip of the small island lies a charming fishing village. Its lively four by six block downtown and its narrow streets filled with gift shops, cozy restaurants and small hotels are perfect for a pleasant afternoon stroll. In spite of the closeness to Cancun, Isla Mujeres keeps a casual and relaxed Caribbean atmosphere. White sand beaches, dolphins and sea turtles are just a few of the island’s attractions. Water activities include coral reef diving, snorkeling, yachting and sport fishing. Because of its small size (4 ½ miles or 7 kms in length and about half a mile or 1 km in width) Isla Mujeres is also perfect for exploring on your own in a golf cart or on a motorbike.
