Fun Stop on the way to Isla Mujeres

There's a small beach, some water activities and bungee jumping. A handful of tiki type bars with reasonably priced drinks on site. We had a few drinks here while waiting for the ferry to Isla Mujeres.

Playa Tortuga Cancun

Love this beach, the locals come here with their families. Great food and drinks and if you venture down the beach a little farther theres some great swimming and snorkeling just off shore.
