Pictures of Isla Mujeres
Just five miles long and less than half a mile wide, Isla Mujeres is a sun-soaked island perfect for those searching for the Caribbean of yesterday.
The white-sand beaches of the leeward coast, the rugged bays of the windward coast, offshore reefs, and rich fishing grounds nearby are just some of the attractions for water sports fans.
The Makax Lagoon is a god natural harbor and marina facilities are available. The island is the site of two regattas held annually in April.
The windward coast of the island is rocky and currents are swift.
The vestiges of a tiny Mayan temple lie on the southern headland; the view of the Caribbean and Cancun from here is spectacular.
The leeward coast is dotted with rocky bays and secluded beaches.

Sites of interest on the island are Playa Norte or North Beach, a stretch of white-sand beach on the northern tip of the island, the Garrafón Underwater Park, and a Dolphin facility at Villa Pirata.
Dive trips are available to the reefs of Manchones, La Bandera, El Tunel, and Grampin in the Bay of Mujeres.
The Virgin and the Cross are also interesting dive sites just off the coast of Isla Mujeres.
Back on shore, restaurants and tropical-style “Palapa” eateries serving fresh seafood abound in Isla Mujeres village.
Shops stock everything from fine gold jewelry created in the island workshops and Mexican handcrafts to reproductions of the ancient Mayan nobles carved from stone.
If you go ashore getting around is easy: bikes, mopeds, taxis, and even golf carts are available for hire.
