Driving our golf cart to Punta Sur and checking out that crystal blue water was surely one of the highlights of our trip! We went to the sculpture garden there which was $8 a person. I highly recommend doing this as there are a lot of walking paths that allow you to access the coast. There is a lot more to see than meets the eye! Make sure to bring 10 peso coins if you would like to use the restroom as they are not free! There were ice cream and pizza stands as well as many instagram worthy moments! Do not go to Isla Mujeres without going to Punta Sur! :) read more

This attraction at the southernmost tip of the island offered scenic views of the cliffs and some Mayan ruins. We saw a few iguanas sunning on the rocks. And the biscoff ice cream at the ice cream shop was a delightful treat in a hot day. read more

A wonderful park on the south end of isla Mujeres. There are a number of statues depicting the history of the island. And paths all around the statues, all over the park and down along the cliffs. Ruins are plentiful to see and you can get close to many. It's a wonderful way to spend time when visiting the island. read more

Beautiful location in Isla Mujeres at the very south point. We rented a golf cart and rode from North to South of Isla Mujeres which was a fun ride. Crystal clear water and great spot to visit while visiting Isla Mujeres. Lots of Iguanas roam this part of the island and there are several statues you can take pictures of. There is great ice cream for sale here that costs $2 each or 35 pesos. There is a public bathroom here but there is a man who sits beside the restrooms and charges 10 pesos for each person who needs to use the restroom. Pretty silly if you ask me but public bathrooms are rare on Isla Mujeres. Overall a great place to visit if you are on Isla Mujeres. 5 stars! read more

This was one of our stops on the island of Isla Mujeres as we drove around on our rented golf cart. As the name suggests, this is the "south point" of the island. We saw this place highlighted on maps and thought it was just a small viewpoint. It turned out that this actually a beautiful park. Punta Sur is surrounded by clear turquoise waters and is made of incredible winding walkways and cliffs. Though worn down, there is also a small Mayan ruin devoted to the goddess Ixchel. And there is a sculpture park with modern sculptures from many different artists. This place is definitely worth at least an hour of your time while exploring Isla Mujeres. read more

What a view!!!!! Clean, many walking paths, huge iguanas, beautiful statues, shopping, food... and you've got to walk to the end so you can go down the steps and walk along the cliff side. If you see an older man on a bike ice cream truck, make sure you get some!! If you're really want a treat you'll visit the churro cart and dip your citrus in his amazing ice cream. Lastly do NOT litter!! This place is right by the ocean and it's also an ancient ruin, be respectful. read more

Absolutely stunning. Get there before the sun is high in the sky. You only need pay (like 40 pesos maybe) if you want to walk down. If you have mobility issues just stay for free at the top great views there too! They have bathrooms, possibly a fee I didn't use them, a small gift shop, and a few street food vendors. I think there was a church and ice pop guy read more

Punta Sur has so much more to offer than I feel like the average visitor knows. Yes, the view from the top is awesome but what is below is even better in my opinion. If you walk towards the ruins and follows the trail, you can jump right into the sea. The water is beautiful and cool compared to the heat above. It's also cool to see all of the various ways the wind, sea, and salt have transformed the rocks. The food at the restaurant above is "American" at best but the service is very good. We didn't really indulge in much of anything there. Except tons of Evian. We thought it was a must see spot and were glad we waited out all the tourists before going on our adventure. Morning and mid day there are too many people, I just didn't feel comfortable on a cliff with all of the clumsy haha. Also, enjoy the lizards but be aware... they will bite and steal if they want something. read more

the southern tip of Isla Mujeres and the easternmost point in all Mexico. When I was planning for Isla Mujeres, I thought I ll walk till this point as it is 6 km, but luckily, I rented scooty and while going there I was glad, I rented, as it is not 6-7 km from a terminal. Better you rent scooty (for 2 people) or golf cart (more than 2 persons). On the way, you ll find Garrafón Reef Park, where zip line, snorkeling and other adventure takes place. Once inside you can explore the majestic cliffs, admire the brilliant blue ocean and wander through the sculpture park. There is also a Maya temple dedicated to Ixchel. The scenery is beautiful, and you'll also find a lighthouse, a sculpture garden, and the remains of a Mayan temple to Ixchel - plus a statue of Ixchel herself. Ixchel is the Mayan goddess of the Moon and of fertility, and wife of the Sun. Ixchel is the reason why Isla Mujeres is named the Island of Women: Mayan women used to visit the island on pilgrimages to visit and honor Ixchel. Her temple was built in this spot because it's the highest elevation on the Yucatan Peninsula, but it's since been destroyed by hurricanes. Also, there's a giant iguana statue. And some real live giant iguanas, too. In whole Isla Mujeres, I found this place more beautiful with postcard beauty. Once you've gotten your most instagrammable shots of the trip, hop back on to scooty and head back to town along the rocky east coast road -- lined with cliffs, crashing waves and the occasional roadside seashell stand. read more

Punta Sur! The most amazing, breath taking views ever! I felt as though I was inside of a beautiful painting. This place is everything. God is so good! Mother Nature at it's finest! I even got to take a picture with the Maya Goddess Ixchel! I had a wonderful experience here. It was a little windy, but overall fantastic adventure. So worth a trip! Thank you Punta Sur! read more

This place is magical. The sculpture garden, the trails (you can walk for a good hour or two here!), the ocean SLAMMING into the rocky shore... It does not matter that the temple is in ruins, this place is without a doubt a sacred, powerful place. There are so many different views and perches from which to fill your senses with the raw power of water and earth. Pay the fee. It's worth it. Or better yet, arrive before dawn, watch the sun rise out at the point, hike all the trails before the midday heat, and pay on your way out. This is the easternmost point in all of Mexico / the Mayan empire, which means it is, in essence, a sunrise theater. We came back 3 times: once for sunrise, once for high noon, and once for sunset... We also highly recommend walking the rocky dirt path along the east coast of the island... a breathtakingly scenic pilgrimage walk. The ruins are a temple to Ixchel, the Mayan goddess of water and rainbows, of medicine and childbirth, of love and the moon... this is the "mujer" that gave Isla Mujeres its name. And do me a favor. Don't stack rock cairns. It contributes to erosion. It's not nice. read more

Spanish lesson of the day: "Punta Sur" means "South Point" in English. Punta Sur is the southern tip of Isla Mujeres. We visited here in early March, before the COVID-19 pandemic. For lighthouse lovers, I'd recommend this place because they have a cute lighthouse that sits on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea. It's also got a Mayan Temple ruins (Templo Ixchel), which may have been an ancient lighthouse. There are great views of the turquoise sea, winding paths that descend the rocks down to the tiny beach below; there are walking trails for those who like to enjoy nature. There's a charming restaurant that sits inside the park (although we didn't eat there, it looked nice); you can also find a Starbucks beneath the lighthouse. Like most people, we got here via rented golf cart (if you rent a golf cart, know your prices, because many will try to charge you double the regular price or more on this tourist trap of an island). read more

When I saw it on the map I didn't think it would be as fun as the sandy beaches of Playa Norte with all its rocks, but I think I had about as much or maybe even more fun here. It's like a mini archaeological site and it only costs $3 to go through. We had been wanting to visit some museum or do anything cultural while on an otherwise party trip, so it was nice to run into this while at Isla Mujeres. It was a lot of fun walking down the rocky stairs to the very edge of the land. read more

Wow, incredible views. It cost 30 pesos to get in, but cool paths that went down to the water. Beautiful spot. I heard the statues were great before the hurricane took them out read more

In order to get to this spot, you'll need to rent a golf cart/motorcycle. I don't suggest flagging a cab because the experience won't be the same. Also, it won't be worth the money. My friend and I rented a golf cart for $600 pesos so we split that into $300/person. Which is around $20USD. If you took the ferry to isla mujeres, I suggest you get there by 9am so you can rent the golf cart for a longer time. We arrived pretty late so we only got 3 hours with the golf cart. The $600pesos covers from 9am-5pm, which is definitely not bad! Onto the actual location. The statue is pretty well known at this location, as well as the cliffs and the famous cliff that sticks out. I almost had a heart attack sitting at the edge of the cliffs but it was definitely worth the experience! I'll never forget the memories I made on this island! Happy travels! read more

Punta Sur is one of the most beautiful spots on the island. For $30 pesos you can walk down to the high cliffs of Punta Sur and really fill alive as you catch the waves crashing against the rocks and cliffs as the cool breeze caresses your senses. The cliffs have trails that you can walk down to get closer to the sea and a nice little cave. Also you'll see lots of wildlife here; fish, birds, lizards, iguanas, etc. This location also serves as an artist location with sculptures along the walking paths. The temple of Ixchel is located here as well, where you see rocks stacked up on each other and you'll see trinkets left behind as an offering to the goddess. read more

Punts Sur is absolutely breathtaking! The best views on the island. The sculpture garden is beautiful, tho it has deteriorated a bit, as steel does when exposed to Mother Nature. The sculpture garden is $3 USD or $30 pesos to get in. There are iguanas everywhere to include I giant sculpture of one. The Mayan ruins were very interesting, but a placard with the history would have been nice. This is definitely a place I would come to again. We ended our short excursion here with a couple of margarita's at the restaurant located just outside the garden. read more

This is a fantastic place to visit on your trip to Isla Mujeres. A lot of the sculptures are starting to wear against the weather, ,but the trails down the cliffs are amazing. You can see the eastern most point of mexico. It costs 3 usd to get in, and if you need to use the restroom make sure to bring some pesos. Go early to beat the crowds. And when you're done walk to The Joint for one of their famous frozen majitos. read more

Mind blowing views without paying the entrance fees. Right at the tip of Isla Mujeres. Lovely place. Truely awesome views of the cliff. We didnt go till the very tip because of the entrance fees of $3 per person. Got the same views and had a nice time. Saw some huge iguanas. read more

Took a little longer than expected in our ultra slow golf cart to get to the southern tip but worth it. Passed some interesting properties along the way, including the famous "Shell House" so stopped to snap a few pics. Enjoyed the grounds around the ruins but decided not the pay the modest fee to go the final spots. Probably should have but decided to save a few bucks. Interesting modern sculptures down there, not sure if they complemented or distracted from the ruins...you decide. Great ocean views all around, also big cliffs to beware of. read more

Amazing cliff views of the ocean, really cool knowing your on the eastern most edge of Mexico itself. There are some interesting pieces of art spread throughout the park, that you must pay to access. Luckily, there was barely anyone else around, so when we walked into the cliff area, down the stairs, we were all alone at the "Cliff of the Dawm" - very romantic. read more

A little gem... you can get here by renting golf cart. There is a parking lot where you could park your cart. We came here and the view was breathtaking. We didn't do much here except to check out the beauty of the statures, busts and the rocks/cliff/mayan. I know you could do more there and if you want to, grab it! Next time we come here, we'll be sure to explore Punta Sur more than what we saw. There is also tourists stores nearby and a restaurant we didn't eat, but it does look like a place to give a try. read more

This is 100% worth renting a golf cart and driving 20ish minutes. Beautiful ocean views against breathtaking cliffs and ruins. It cost $3USD per person to take the trail to the furthest point, but it's absolutely worth it. Make sure to spend enough time exploring the lower paths. Caution - unless you eat at the restaurant the bathrooms cost $1USD per person to use (standard for lots of places in Isla Mujeres). read more

This beautiful spot is the tip of the island and the view is breathtaking. You can get there by golf cart or taxi, pay 30 pesos for entrance. There's a little sculpture art garden you walk through before you get to the Mayan ruins, where the end is. There are different levels at the end and you can get a closer view near the water. It's windy up there so be careful your footing! read more
