Isla Mujeres is a true island only about five miles long and blessed with a mild climate. This makes touring by golf cart especially popular with tourists giving access to many areas that might not be exactly prime stand-alone destinations. Here are some of these mildly interesting locations.

The Malecon
Most Mexican seaside towns have a promenade along the waterfront called the Malecon. Usually they have the ocean on one side and businesses on the other heavily weighted to bars, restaurants, and gift shops. Isla Mujeres has a picturesque Malocon on the side facing the open ocean, but it is sadly lacking in businesses and therefore: pedestrians.

Zama Beach
Zama Beach and Lounge is on the Cancun side of Isla Mujeres and offers a fine restaurant and swimming beach. One of our favorite sites was seeing a modest motor yacht (maybe 100 feet long) anchor off the Zama dock, send a launch to the dock, and pick up a take out order from Zama waiters. Very classy!
