North Beach

is THE beach to go to, with endless white sand bottom and crystal clear waters, it is been named in the top ten world beaches various times, for a very good reason. Go early in the morning if you want to beat the crowds. During the day you can throw your towel on the sand or you can rent lounge chairs and an umbrella for a reasonable price. Always be clear on the price before you rent. 

Downtown

If you take a walk down Hidalgo (the main pedestrian drag located in downtown) you will come across many restaurants, bars, cafes, shops, and soon to be familiar faces. The island is pretty small and very laid back, however downtown can be pretty busy at certain times of the year, which can make it difficult to find parking.  All things to consider when figuring out where on the island you want to stay.

South Point

is located at the southern most point of the island and most easterly point of Mexico, it is the first to see the sunrise each day. There is a small ruin at the tip of the island, along with a beautiful collection of Mayan statues & a beautiful walkway along the water, to enter costs $100mxn.  With some of the best views on the island you'll definitely want to make a stop here.  You can also visit the many iguanas that call this beautiful spot their home.

Beach Clubs

Each beach club is a little different, they all have their pros and cons and have their own policies & fees. There are beach clubs all around the island, who all accept some kind of payment for using their facilities.  It is always best to ask before you enter, as each one is different. Some are more expensive than others, some have pools, some don't, but what they do all offer is food, drinks, lounge chairs or beds to relax on beach.

Cafes, Restaurants & Bars

There is no shortage of places to eat and drink on Isla.  You will find an array of cafes, bars & restaurant open all hours of the day and night.  You will find everything from cheap tacos to fancy dinners, great coffees, margaritas and even some special tasty drinks prepared by mixologists.  There are a lot of restaurants located downtown, but don't forget to venture out to the rest of the island and you will find some really special gems.

Nightlife

is definitely a lot quieter than the Cancun scene, although you can usually find something going on any night of the week on the main pedestrian street Av. Hidalgo. Most of what you will find is salsa, top 40, rock or latin music as well as some electronic music parties in a couple different locations downtown and further south of the island.. Many bars and restaurants have live music as well.
