Is Isla Mujeres really a cruiser's paradise? Episode 13

Isla Mujeres is a tiny island just off the coast of Cancun, Mexico. It's a favorite spot for tourists because of it's beautiful beaches, numerous restaurants and bars, and glorious weather. Cruiser's often use Isla Mujeres as waypoint on their way north to Florida, west to Texas, or east to Cuba and the rest of the Caribbean. This begs the question, is Isla Mujeres a cruiser's paradise or just a convenient stopover en route to other places. The beaches here are enticing, but the lack of shore access from a dinghy makes enjoying the amenities difficult. The anchorage is crowded and has notoriously poor holding making it important to be vigilant at all times. If you're willing to get off your boat and just be a tourist for awhile, Isla Mujeres can be a lot of fun. The best part is definitely the meeting of friends, old and new. The nature of the island as a waypoint to other places ensures you will run into people you've met somewhere else in your cruising adventure. https://sailingroam.com/ ?More about us, our adventures, and how we do all this on our website.

A couple travelers out chasing the horizon, meeting the people, and capturing it to share with you. We've chosen to Roam the world by boat because, let's face it, the most interesting path is rarely a straight line. As we learn to let go of our American drive to finish, and embrace the meandering routes across islands, oceans, continents, and people, we hope to gain a better sense of our world and our place in it. The path won't always be comfortable or easy to find but, it will always #roam Here's an index of the video in case you want to see something specific: 00:00 Logo Splash 00:04 Heading north 00:43 Short detour to Seattle 00:56 Day sail to Isla Mujeres 01:11 Arrival in Isla Mujeres 01:40 What kind of cruiser are you? 02:44 Isla is a tourist town 03:18 Party boats are everywhere 03:50 A million docks, but you can't tie up here 04:16 Skull's landing 04:50 Picus, a great place to tie up the dinghy 05:05 Bike tour around the island with friends 07:01 Don't forget to like and subscribe 07:04 Continuing the bike ride 07:49 Punta Sur sculpture park 10:05 Snorkeling adventure/recon mission 11:36 Night dive 13:14 Sundowners 13:22 See you next time! 13:39 Like, Subscribe and binge from the beginning ----------------------------------------------------------- #boatlife #catamaran #travelvlog #digitalnomad #lifestyle #sailboats #nautitech #yachtlife #sailingroam #tourist #wishlist #liveaboardlife #cruisinglife #islamujeres #mexico © Sailing Roam 2023
