The city

What to expect from Isla Mujeres.

Isla Mujeres is a narrow island about 7 km long off Cancún, a 15–30 minute boat ride away. The village, at the northern tip, has streets of colorful houses and Playa Norte, with white sand and shallow, calm water. At the southern tip, Punta Sur has a lighthouse, a sculpture park and the remains of a Maya temple dedicated to Ixchel, at Mexico’s easternmost point. The island is explored by golf cart or bicycle.
