Review:

Playa Norte, referred to as North Beach in English, is one of Mexico's most stunning white sand beaches, located on the secluded five-mile-long Isla Mujeres off the northern coast of Cancún. The beach, which is the island's central public beach, spans 2,250 feet of gorgeous ocean coastline, home to pristine turquoise waters, crushed coral sands, and vibrant local culture.

Is Playa Norte a good beach for kids? Waters are safe for swimming for beachgoers of all ages and ability levels, only chest-deep even a decent distance from the shoreline.

Good to know: The island's lively community is home to a wide variety of artists and musicians and significant influence from its Mayan heritage, creating a diverse, unique local culture.

What's nearby? Other tourist attractions on the island for visitors to enjoy include the MUSA Underwater Museum, Garrafon Park, and the ruins of historic Hacienda Mundaca.

Where to find it: Rueda Medina 130, SM 001, Centro, 77506 Isla Mujeres, Q.R., Mexico
