Isla Mujeres sits about 15 kilometers off the Cancún coast, with white-sand beaches, turquoise water and an easygoing pace; you get around by golf cart, about 8 km end to end. To the south are the Punta Sur cliffs with the Ixchel temple, and Isla Contoy lies offshore. The ferry from Puerto Juárez takes about 20 minutes.
Best time: Whale sharks from May to September.
