Quiet Beaches in Isla Mujeres

Tranquil Caribbean island shores away from the day-trip crowds

Isla Mujeres has a naturally unhurried pace that makes the whole island feel quiet by Caribbean standards. Both main beaches are sheltered from ocean swell, blessed with calm turquoise water, and free from the high-rise resort atmosphere of the mainland. Arrive early or in the late afternoon to experience them at their most peaceful.

Playa Norte, Isla Mujeres

Playa Norte

Isla Mujeres, Mexico

The island's most celebrated beach offers a serene, windless atmosphere on most mornings. The shallow, flat water is so calm you can walk 50 metres out and barely get your knees wet.

Playa Centro, Isla Mujeres

Playa Centro

Isla Mujeres, Mexico

Tucked between colourful village buildings, this small town beach has a wonderfully low-key feel. Fewer sunbeds than Playa Norte and largely frequented by islanders rather than tourists.
