The #1 beach in Mexico! 😍 ISLA MUJERES

Isla Mujeres is a lovely island off the coast of Cancun in Mexico, and here you can visit the beach voted the best in Mexico by Trip Advisor's readers. It's called Playa Norte, and although we haven't been to all beaches in Mexico, we fully agree. This is also our favorite now. 😍

In this travel vlog, we go for a tour around the island in a golf cart. You also see Punta Sur, Playa Centro, downtown, and the boat trip between Cancun and Isla Mujeres.

► WHO AM I?

I am a Brazilian-American journalist living in Florida. After traveling the world working with sports, news, and events for over 15 years, I realized that what I really love is the travel part of it all. So I exchanged life in the newsrooms and stadiums for the daily challenge of being an independent content producer. I created this channel to share the beauties of the world... stuff that for so long I only kept to myself. Also to help people planning similar trips and to inspire more people to venture out and enjoy life!

P.S.: The funny guy who appears in the vlogs is my husband, Gordon. He is Canadian-American and he's actually camera-shy, that's why he's behind the camera most of the time 😉

I can't believe that it's already 2 years since I first found your channel, Renata. Still, the best source of healing for me, here in YouTube 🥰

[GreggGordon]

I just discovered your channel when Youtube suggested this video, due to me doing some research on the island in past weeks. I think you've given one of the best views of the island that I've seen. I've been visiting the area since Playa was a small fishing village with just 2 phone lines and all the businesses shut down for afternoon siesta. I haven't yet, though, visited Isla Mujeres, but we have a room booked in Tres Mentiras for December. We'll also visit Playa, Valladolid and perhaps some other places; I'll check out your other videos to see if there's anything new since our last visit to the area.

[solrodriguez]

Ma’am!!! I love the video
💜 thank you for uploading such beauty

[RA-fmwr]

Place was very crowded when we went and water looks nice but when got in it was a little murky. Beaches short but nice. I see it getting more all inclusive developed soon

[jimmy-zj]

Stay the night on isla for a few nights at least. The beaches early and late in the day will be all yours! 😍

[EnoqueSousa-dfjr]

Good morning teacher renatinha. Iam here again

[MariaGarcia-irdy]

Is it a GoPro that you are using? if so what kind, I love the images underwater so clear

[laceyadrian]

Best way to get to playa norte from our hotel in Cancun and what would we expect to pay for start to finish many thanks

[miguel.mtzbza]

you guys need to come back and try "Tikin Xic" fish instead of al pastor tacos, which are good but you can get better al Pastor in other cities in Mexico, here over the Yucatan peninsula there is another type of cuisine which is inheritance of Mayan culture, like "Tikin Xic" fish, panuchos, salbutes, relleno negro just to mention a few..

[antonettebarangan]

Hi thanks for making this video, i just wanted to ask which currency is better to use when you are in cancun or isla mujeres? Is it mexican peso or USD? Thank you

[denelynmarie]

Omg so beautiful! My husband and I are planning on a trip in April next year. What month did you guys visit ?

[boatrentalskeywest]

When was this? Looks like last winter. I love Isla Mujeres, going back soon
