You step onto the catamaran with salt still on your skin and the pier behind you shrinking into a band of palm shadows. The boat lurches forward, sails filling with a warm Caribbean breath that seems to push the coastline back and the island forward, inviting you to trade crowded hotel strip for a day of reef, beach and breeze.

Isla Mujeres was a ceremonial site for the Maya moon goddess Ixchel; Spanish sailors later named the island for the figures they found. The island’s fishing culture endures in its markets and cuisine.
Conservation
