An Idyllic Caribbean Paradise. Isla Mujeres takes its laid-back life-style seriously and so will you once captivated by the idyllic weather, stunning views and hospitable island atmosphere. After a short ferry ride from the bustling beaches of Cancun, you’ll make landfall on this haven resting quietly in shadows of its towering palm trees. Considering its size, there’s plenty to do on this little island. Discover white powdery beaches on the northern most tip of the island — the pristine sea that surrounds them is as calm as a giant swimming pool. To the south lies Garrafon National Park and the Open-Air Sculpture Park. Bounti-ful coral reefs teeming with marine life are ideal for snorkeling. More experienced divers should head to the reefs of Punta Norte and Manchones, the Cave of the Sleeping Sharks and the sites of two sunken ships. Journey to the colorful down-town shops to find art souvenirs galore. Local cuisine is a treat — epitomized by delectable fish and seafood specialties seasoned with regional flavors.
