About Isla Mujeres

Isla Mujeres is a small Caribbean island off Cancún, with a calm town beach, a sculpture-dotted southern cliff and warm shallow water for snorkelling.

Isla Mujeres lies a few kilometres off the Yucatán coast opposite Cancún, a narrow island about seven kilometres long with the town at its northern end. The Spanish named it the Isle of Women in 1517 after finding clay figures of goddesses there. Golf carts and bicycles are the usual way to get around, and Playa Norte, a shallow beach of white sand and calm turquoise water, fronts the town.
