You walk in water for a qtr mile and sit in the most picture perfect cove and waters. The cove around the Avalaon Reef resort has outstanding snorkeling with numerous schools of fishes at your finger tips.
All I can say is WOW!!! Crystal clear water white sandy beaches and just plain relaxing. If you ever plan a vacation do it here.
This water is so relaxing. No hard waves at all. YOu can out 175 ft and the water is at your shoulders. Gorg! Will be returning next year.
You can't go wrong with this beach: long stretch of white, cool sand; turquoise water, even in stormy conditions; laid-back bars on the beach; no water sports (yay!); calm waves; gradual and long slope before you even reach deeper water; it's on Isla Mujeres.
Our hotel was on the northeast side of North Beach (i.e. Playa del Norte). We thought our beach was nice, but nothing compared to what is on the northwest side.

long shallow azur blue water..lots of bars, hotels and restaurants..within walkin distance of downtown hotels and the very tip of the island
This beach is one of the most beautiful beaches we have visited! The water is crystal clear, and calm. The beach has the softest powdery white sand. You can always catch the most amazing sunsets on this fabulous beach.
The surf is very calm all day long; the sand on the beach has a soft texture and isn't sticky; plenty of chairs and umbrellas at low rental cost; the bar and food service was very good. Be aware that there was a handful of topless female sunbathers, if you are sensitive to that or don't want your children around...

We stayed at Nautibeach, and it is just the best spot in the Island. Around the Island there are many more nice places, but most of them with no access to the beach or with rocks that you can't really swim.
