Sun-Soaked Things to Do in Isla Mujeres, Mexico (and Massive Travel Guide)

PRACTICAL WANDERLUST

12

Located just off the coast from Cancun, the sleepy island of Isla Mujeres is a much quieter way to enjoy a Yucatan vacation, well away from the crowds in Cancun and surrounded by bright blue Caribbean water.

RELAX ON THE BEACH

Beautiful Playa Norte is the picture-perfect white sand beach with bright blue water. It’s pretty much exactly what you want in Isla Mujeres. Get a drink, jump in the water, and spend the day relaxing!

SWIM WITH WHALE SHARKS

Between May and September, harmless whale sharks hang out in the warm waters off of Isla Mujeres, and YOU CAN SWIM WITH THEM!

EXPLORE ISLA MUJERES BY GOLF CART… OR MOPED

Pick up a golf cart from one of the many vendors in town and spend the day whizzing around the island.

STUFF YOUR FACE WITH DELICIOUS MEXICAN FOOD

There’s tons of delicious Mexican food on the Yucatan Peninsula, and you can get plenty of it right on Isla Mujeres! 

YOGA ON THE BEACH

Wake up early to do sunrise yoga on the beach, taking deep breaths as you focus on the feeling of sand between your toes, greeting the sun as it rises over the clear, blue water. (I'll be asleep, but you have fun!)

STROLL DOWN AVENIDA MIGUEL HIDALGO

Avenida Miguel Hidalgo is a pedestrian-only street that comprises the “downtown” of Isla Mujeres, and we found ourselves coming here each night just to bask in the ambiance.
