At the farthest southern point there are small ruins and a path that acually goes on the edge of the cliff and down to teh ocean. We got great pictures... More

My husband I walked around the paths by the sea, by the ruin, and through the sculpture garden. It was beautiful and there was no one else around. The old pathways along the cliffs are really beautiful. My only complaint is that you have to pay to use the bathroom even after you pay to walk around.

We were very close to miss it! But so happy we didn't! It costs $30 pesos to enter the southernmost tip, totally worth it to go down the little stairs and walk all around the cliff.

A trip to Punta Sur should be part of every trip to Isla. The beauty is unsurpassed! Go early in the day before it gets too hot.

A lot of the sculptures are rusted and poorly maintained. I did however enjoy exploring the very end of the point as there are great cliff formations.

If you travel to Isla Mujeres and don't visit Punta Sur it would be a shame! It was probably the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. We met several people later who didn't realize that your thirty pesos got you more than just the sculpture garden, walk past the statues and stroll along the cliff side paths for an... More

This is the complete other end of the island from Playa norte where all the action is. A beauty of a spot . Take the walk out to the end for $3 and walk along the cliffs. Have a drink at the bar there overlooking everything.

We enjoyed walking the cliffs and looking out at the waves rolling in. Then sat at the restaurant and had some amazing Ceviche.

Rent a golf cart and travel to the other end of island. Exploring in the cart was the best fun. Punta Sur is the best place for pictures. Also, we had lunch here and the food and drinks were very good!

Punta Sur was beautiful! The water is amazing and there are several walking trails that will take you super close to the water. There are mayan ruins there and sculptures but the view is worth the $3 admission. Make this a stop on your trip, you won't be sorry.
