The sea
Wide beaches and a sea without surf
Long stretches of fine white sand facing a turquoise sea that the sandbar keeps shallow and still: you swim and snorkel close to shore. To the north, Isla Blanca is a public beach where the sea meets Chacmochuch lagoon, a well-known kitesurfing spot for its steady wind and gentle current.
Sea to table
Seafood
Octopus, conch and fish a la talla: the cooking on this coast comes from the market and the grill. In Puerto Juárez, minutes away, fishing cooperatives supply the seafront restaurants that Cancun locals favor: fried fish, or tikin xic, a fillet marinated in achiote and orange and wrapped in a banana leaf.
The resorts
All-inclusive, spas and golf
All-inclusive resorts, adults-only or family, with restaurants, spas and wellness centers, shops and water parks, built for family vacations, romantic getaways, honeymoons and celebrations. Beside them, Playa Mujeres Golf Club, 18 holes and par 72, designed by Greg Norman. Many travelers hop from one resort to another to try their restaurants and spas.
Around it
Contoy, Yum Balam, Isla Blanca and El Meco
From here you visit Isla Contoy, a bird sanctuary with a daily visitor limit, and the Yum Balam reserve, with local guides. Isla Blanca allows pets and camping. Inland stands the El Meco archaeological site, linked to Cobá as a fishing village, whose Castillo is the tallest structure in the north of the state and looks out toward Isla Mujeres.
