Known forislandbeachday tripsnorkeling
A small island 13 km off the Cancún coast reachable by a 20-minute ferry, offering a dramatically slower pace, pastel-painted streets, and some of the clearest turquoise water in the region. Rent a golf cart to circle the island, swim at Playa Norte (consistently ranked among Mexico's best beaches), and eat fresh ceviche at the waterfront. Caveat: day-trippers flood the island between 11am and 3pm — arrive on the first ferry or stay overnight to experience it properly.
