Isla Blanca

Isla Blanca (literally means "white beach") is a beautiful stretch of beach, located approximately 12.5 miles north of downtown Cancun.  The name is a bit misleading, since Isla Blanca is not really an island.  Instead it is a narrow peninsula, with the sea on one side and Chakmochuk Lagoon on the other.

This area is excellent for fly-fishing.  Several tour operators run fly-fishing excursions throughout the year.  Kiteboarding is the latest craze in the Cancun area.  Daredevils wishing to give the sport a try can visit Ikarus Kiteboarding School, located very close to Isla Blanca.

The turquoise waters and white sand, combined with the lack of people, make this pristine beach a fantastic getaway for a day.    

There are no organized tours to the beaches of Isla Blanca.  You will have to rent a car or hire a taxi for a few hours, if you wish to visit this area.
