What to do in Playa Norte Isla Mujeres?


Eating 😋

Besides swimming in its crystal clear waters and relaxing on its white sand, on the island you will find a great variety of restaurants and beach clubs that serve exquisite native food of Isla Mujeres such as the delicious typical dish of the region: Tikin Xic.

Yacht or Catamaran tour

You can reach this beautiful beach through a ferry that crosses from Cancun to Isla Mujeres and then walk or take a taxi to this paradise, but why pay for everything separately when you can get a tour that includes everything?


At Cancun Sailing we have private tours to Isla Mujeres with marine transportation, a relaxed atmosphere, drinks, food, and, of course, a stop at Playa Norte. Or if you prefer a fun atmosphere and ideal for meeting friends and partying, we offer catamaran tours, which give you free time to walk around and get to know the surroundings of the island.

Relaxing at a beach club

It is to be expected that on such a beautiful beach there are beach clubs. Visit a beach club and get a perfect tan or enjoy a delicious drink on a lounge chair overlooking the ocean. Many of these Isla Mujeres beach clubs offer lounge chairs, restrooms, showers, a pier, food, and a bar.
