Playa Norte

The stretch of beach that runs along the northern end of the island. It has shallow waters and stunning white sand. The beach is full of fun restaurants and bars as well as several hotels. This is where the majority of travelers will spend their beach time so it can get crowded during peak season.

Mario Giacalone

North beach is beautiful can get crowded but the beach grub is great and a massage on the beach fur 40 bucks

Katherine Fehr

This beach is great, it's worth the ferry ride to the island ! Definitely one of the nicer beaches I visited during my trip to Cancun .

Holly Matt

We have been coming 1 or 2 times a year for 9 years to Isla. The water is warm, family friendly & the colour is stunning. My only issue is that it had become more crowded every year.

Taylor Otto

Pretty busy and you might have to rent beach chairs. Water is super clear and good temperature. There’s bars and restaurants that ask if you want food or drink too. Huge and strong margaritas !

MIGUEL G

It's awesome! The view , the weather, the beach ... EVERYTHING!!

Rrawat Felkner

Two blocks walking distance from the ferry terminal. Crystal clear water. Added bonus - no seaweed . Plenty of bars for drinks, food and beach chair/umbrella rentals.

Paula Madeira

I mean, it is beautiful but full of boat and yatchs and catamarans everywhere. Also, bars and resorts occupy 90% of the sand and if you manage to find a shadow they will be pissed at you

Almog Tlumak

Love the beach , though it's getting very touristic

Melanie Long

Beach is nice, but can get very crowded from day trippers. It’s more fun to stay on Isla Mujeres and watch the sun go down with less crowds

Frank Hall

The white sand & the perfect turquoise sea make this beach awesome.

Neve Chiara

The side of the beach close to the pink Mia hotel is the most beautiful!

Moo Ju

Instead of paying for the umbrellas, get to the beach early and secure a spot under one of nature's umbrellas!

Alerrandro Correa

Some beach clubs just charge for a minimum consumption and other for the chairs too. Always bargain for a better price.

Martina Brusatore

The Best beach in Isla mujeres. Unfortunately there are Million of Boat all day long

Spot 23o2

Are you one of those persons who just loves a week's vacation on an exotic beach ? Then Isla Mujeres is definitely the place to go...

Adam Paxton

Only place in Cancun and Riviera Maya the area without sargasso seaweed

Ashley Epping

Order drinks from Kalak, great beach service , amazing nachos con pollo , I love Mario & Angel!

Ian Russell

The best sunset view

Amber Nelson

Gorgeous beach and great on beach service !

Carl Griffin

Lovely views across the blue sea.

Jonathan Bownds

Best beach on the island . Check it out in the mornings, before the boats join the frey mid afternoon.

Aurora

120 pesos per person. Good food but loud music . Don't waste your money on massage . I wish they had fresh juice to offer.

Moo Ju

The sunset here is simply breath-taking...

Jeff B

Beautiful but way over crowded lost some of its luster

Borys Pierov

There are a lot of people but the beach is quite nice though! The sea bottom is quite shallow.

Kral2

Worth the boat trip. Stunning beach

Terri Lahlou

Melike Ozdol

Perla Martinez

Rakzo Antares

Kane Thompson

Stunning water

Hoang Bui-Anderson

The beach in front of the Sunset Grill is pretty nice!

Leonardo Vigueras

Just perfect

Sylvia Keller

Amazing beach

Joseph McGehan

Beer under an umbrella is a good thing

Carlota Fernandez

El mejor lugar de la isla para hacer careteo o snorkelling ya que hay hartos arrecifes, corales que propician la vida subacuática, infinidad peces, erizos se escabullen en prístinas y calmadas aguas .

Lore Molina

Hermosisima playa !???? mi preferida del caribe mexicano , aguas trasparentes, olas casi inexistentes, playa bajita, restaurantes , nos rentaron dos camastros con sombrilla a $180, tienen que conocerla!!

Josh

Definitivamente, la mejor playa de Isla Mujeres. Hay muchísimo turismo y encontrarás mucha gente, pero siempre un espacio para estar tranquilo y tomar el sol, relajar y pasarla chevere ????

Gerardo Alonso

Una playa hermosa! Algunos clubs de playa te cobran un consumo de 300 pesos o 15 dlls por usar camastros y sombrillas, bastante económico y muy cómodo! Y con eso compras bebidas y alimentos!!

Chispi

Es la más cercana al embarcadero del ferry. Vale la pena caminar un poco y llegar por la calle Hidalgo, por el centro de la Isla. Todo es más barato y cómodo.

Pepe Treviño

En la Punta Norte (sección de la costa más hacia al norte/noreste) hay aguas muy tranquilas y cristalinas, casi sin oleaje y de poca profundidad muchos metros hacia adentro. Una playa muy hermosa.

Itzchel Martínez

Hermosa playa , muy tranquila y con un color impresionante , muy limpia y clara! Me encanto el lugar, agradable para relajarte y descansar !

MoNiKiTa????

Súper hermosa , ambiente cálido viajamos en septiembre y no había gente muy tranquilo . Recomiendo llevar sus bebidas se me hizo muy caro en los restaurantes .

Liz P.

La mejor playa para descansar y ver el atardecer, tranquila , sin olas, limpia, una de las mejores playas de México

Ricardo Alarcon Romero

la mejor playa es una hermosa alberca con agua del mar puedes ver el fondo y los peces de colores nadar a travez de ellos, tip para que se acerquen los peces trae galletas saladas .

Chilango25

Una de las playas más hermosas del país . Aquí solo hay que rentar una sombrilla, tirarse en la playa y gozar de la vista, el mar, el clima...

Erika Zavala

Es de las mejores playas de Isla mujeres puedes tener una sombrilla con 2 camastros por tan sólo $150 pesos y el mar es como una hermosa alberca

Faby CM

La playa más bonita ???? El agua es súper cristalina y además muy tranquila . El plus: la gran puesta de sol

Gabriel Matayoshi

Es una de las mejores playas que he conocido hasta el momento, me gustó sus aguas tranquilas , sus arenas blancas y la posibilidad de hacer snorkel . La amo!!
