Playa Norte - Isla Mujeres, Mexico - The island of women

Playa Norte - Isla Mujeres, Mexico - is an island in the Mexican Caribbean Sea, located eight miles off of the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, close to Cancun Mexico.

Playa Norte offers you a trip in a golf cart around the island, visiting several of the historical areas, the day-trip visitor who wants a week of entertainment or relaxation will find them enchanted by their visit to Isla Mujeres. 

The Isla Mujeres is best known as the "Island of Women". Even if the small dolphin-shaped island has several beaches, Playa Norta, well-known as the North Beach, is the most popular with our readers and tourists alike. Its turquoise waters and soft sand give an ideal spot for a bit of fun in the sun, as well as activities like kayaking, snorkeling, or simply lounging under an umbrella. Advantage, there are a few bars and restaurants that will deliver drinks and snacks right to your beach towel. If you're feeling more exploratory, you can survey one of the world's largest underwater sculpture parks at Cancun's new-fangled Underwater Museum, located near the island. Opened last November 2010, the brand new attraction includes more than 400 life-size figurative sculptures beneath the sea.

Be aware that the only way off of the island after 7:00 pm is by private boat. The ferry on and off the island stops running from this time until about 8:00 am the next morning in the Playa Norte - Isla Mujeres, Mexico.
