Isla Mujeres is right in front of Cancun. Although it is a small island (only 1.100 km²), there are plenty things to do. The best beach of Cancun and the Riviera Maya from our local POV is the one in Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres. There are also very good restaurants, souvenir stores, and there is even a Mayan Temple in the south part of the Island dedicated to the Mayan goddess Ixchel. The temple is in a cliff so you can imagine how amazing the view is! Want to know these amazing places? Check out how to take the ferry to Isla Mujeres.
