BEACH & OCEAN ACCESS:
• Our home is situated on an inlet on the Caribbean side of Isla Mujeres. The ocean & beach below can be reached by a wooden stair ladder, followed by a descending path through the island rock. Since our house is on a cliff, there is a decline to go down to the water, and an incline to come back up. While the swim-ability of the ocean below is weather permitting and the size of the beach is seasonal, the views are always stunning.
• Starting around March until mid September, there are sandy areas to set up our beach items. Don’t forget, we have a complimentary beach set-up service available during your stay! When the water is calm, you may go swimming or wade through the water and is excellent for those who are more adventurous, or enjoy snorkeling.
• Although it may be too rocky for children to go swimming, it is still a magical experience, as they can enjoy playing in the sand with our sand toys, splash on the shoreline, or hunt for shells and sea glass.
• From October to February, the beach recedes on this side of the island. When heavy rain, wind or Nortes, a strong, cool northern wind, is passing through, it may not be safe to go down to the water because of the strong waves and rocky areas that wash away walkable beaches. Be sure to check the rocks after a storm, as that's when all the true treasures are washed to shore. Only the public beaches downtown have lifeguards, so it is never recommended to go out too far. We also recommend packing & wearing water shoes.
