The sea
Wide beaches and a sea without surf
Long stretches of fine white sand meet a shallow turquoise sea where you can swim and snorkel close to shore. To the north, Isla Blanca is a public beach where the Caribbean meets Chacmochuch Lagoon, a well-known kitesurfing spot thanks to its steady wind and gentle current.
Sea to table
Seafood
Octopus, conch and fish a la talla are among the seafood specialties of this coast, fresh from the market and the grill. Nearby Puerto Juarez, where the fishing cooperatives land their catch, is known for its waterfront seafood restaurants, a favorite of Cancun locals: fried fish and tikin xic, fish marinated in achiote and sour orange, wrapped in a banana leaf and grilled.
The resorts
All-inclusive, spas and golf
Costa Mujeres is home to all-inclusive resorts for both adults and families, with restaurants, spas, wellness centers, shops and water parks. They cater to family vacations, romantic getaways, honeymoons and special celebrations. Nearby, Playa Mujeres Golf Club features an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by Greg Norman. Many guests visit more than one resort to try their restaurants and spas.
Around it
Contoy, Yum Balam, Isla Blanca and El Meco
From Costa Mujeres, you can take guided trips to Isla Contoy National Park, a bird sanctuary with a daily visitor limit, or to the Yum Balam protected area near Holbox, with authorized local guides. Isla Blanca allows pets and camping. Farther inland, the El Meco archaeological site was once a fishing settlement linked to Cobá. Its main structure, El Castillo, is the tallest in the north of the state and looks out over Isla Mujeres and the coast.
