Workation in Isla Mujeres: the essentials
From Cancún it takes about 20 minutes by ferry to reach Isla Mujeres, a narrow strip of land roughly 7 km long where the Caribbean meets the Gulf of Mexico. Around 12,000 people live in the town at the north end, where golf carts are the usual way around and Playa Norte has the shallow water everyone comes for. The southern half is quieter, with cliffs and reef snorkelling. Most long-stayers work from an apartment in the centro or the residential blocks mid-island, and Cancún's airport, about 25 km away with the ferry in between, is an easy trip. December to April brings day-trippers and higher prices, and sargassum can reach the east side in summer.
