We stopped by here to tour the museum and ended up staying for a couple beers as we sat on the beachside deck. We had a delicious appetizer and would recommend this to anyone! Great place!

Isla Mujeres Museum Capitan Dulche.This Museum is dedicated in loving memory of Captain Ernesto Dulche Escalante, founder or the 5th Naval Region (Isla Mujeres). Captain Dulche´s Maritime Museum treasures a big part of Isla Mujeres history, this is documented in a great photo collection of over 150 that have never been seen before. The Museum also contains an excellent collection of anchors, buoys, chains and lanterns, maritime tools and two projection rooms, showing one video of the famous mexican diver Ramon Bravo and the even more famous Jacques Cousteau. It also has the largest collection of model ships and metates in the whole mexican caribbean.

We were hesitant to enter as it does not look like a public place, but it is. The food is fantastic and the drinks are wells made. Compared to the rest of the island, this place has better prices compared to the other places of lesser appeal and quality. The grounds are just breathtaking and the restrooms are spotless clean...

Loved this place--nice chairs, food drinks--very secluded--however Amazon sells this stuff called Sea Safe for the sea lice which are jellyfish related--wish I would have known--my sister and I both have them and they itch like CRAZY!!! Still worth going to Mexico!!!

The grounds are really pretty. They had a few parrots you could take pictures of and a neat little museum (50 pesos i think). We did not eat at the restaurant or visit the beach area but they both looked very nice.

Smaller beach than playa norte, and not as nice, but it's so quiet and peaceful. They have private little palapa-style umbrellas with loungs chairs. Doesn't cost anything to get in. No pressure to buy food or drink, but they're available if you wish. No one selling you crap on the beach. Overall, great place to hang out for a day

Stopped by Capt. Dulches for a drink on our way to lunch when some new friends wandered in. We had a couple drinks and decided to stay for lunch, and I'm so glad we did! It was the best meal we had on Isla.
The chile infused margarita was excellent. The fish tacos were as well. I was surprised to...
