Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Located only seven miles off the Yucatán coast and a 20-minute ferry trip from Cancún, Isla Mujeres attracts beach-loving travelers looking for a respite from the area’s high rises. The island is home to a sea turtle hatchery and an underwater “museum” of sunken sculptures, and is known for dive sites friendly to scuba divers of all levels.
Pro tip: Whale sharks frequent the waters of Isla Mujeres from mid-May through September, although peak season is July and August. Research the operators of whale shark tours before booking to ensure your experience is with one that adheres to safety and sustainability standards.
Getting there: Ferries depart nearly every half-hour from Cancún’s hotel zone for Isla Mujeres.
