Isla Contoy: To arrive at this island, which lies north of Isla Mujeres, you’ll need to take a 30-km (19 mi) boat ride. This island is a natural sanctuary inhabited by hundreds of birds, including such species as cranes, frigate birds and pelicans, among others. It is an ideal location for photo safaris. Here you can go scuba diving while exploring the beautiful marine life that inhabits the coral reefs.

Playa Norte: Located on the island’s northern region, just one km (less than a mile) from Isla Mujeres’ downtown area. At this beach you can rent all the equipment you’ll need for windsurfing.

Playa Paraiso: Off the coast of this quiet beach you can catch species such as mahi mahi, sailfish, sierra, barracuda, marlin and tuna.

Tortugranja: Located on Calle Zac Bajo, near Playa Paraiso. At this place you can see various turtle species that inhabit the region, such as the giant sea turtle, which arrives at the coast to lay its eggs from May to September. The eggs are then kept in a pen to protect them from predators.
