North Beach by SWFC_Fan
North Beach, as it's name might suggest, is located at the northern end of Isla Mujeres. It is connected to the main town beach at Isla Town and is located a 10-15 minutes walk from the ferry terminal.From the ferry terminal, it is a 5 minute walk onto the main beach and from there you can walk along the sand to arrive at North Beach. The main beach near the ferry terminal was very crowded when I arrived, but as I got closer to North Beach the crowds thinned and I was able to find a place to lay my towel and go for a swim.
The sand is clean and white and the water is clear and turquoise. The water is calm, shallow and warm and there is less seaweed than there is on the main beach near the ferry terminal. Samll fish swim around in the shallow waters.
A bridge connects the beach to a large hotel right on the northern tip of the island, and sun loungers and shades are available for hire on the beach in front of the hotel.
If you're visiting Isla Mujeres for the day, don't be tempted to try and fit your towel in amongst the crowds on the main town beach - just keep walking north and enjoy the quieter, more picturesque North Beach.
