  1. 1 Colorful Isla Mujeres letters by the turquoise sea, Quintana Roo

    A small, narrow island a short ferry ride from Cancún. Isla Mujeres is known for the calm turquoise water of Playa Norte, golf-cart sightseeing, snorkeling, and the rocky cliffs of Punta Sur at its southern tip.

  2. 2 El Castillo of Tulum above the white beach and turquoise Caribbean, Quintana Roo

    Tulum

    Tulum pairs a walled Maya city on a cliff above the Caribbean with white-sand beaches and nearby cenotes. Once a quiet backpacker stop, it is now one of Mexico's best-known beach destinations, with a town center inland and a hotel strip along the coast.

    When to go: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr

  3. 3 Thatched palapa on stilts over the turquoise Laguna de Bacalar, Quintana Roo

    Bacalar

    Bacalar sits on the shore of the Lagoon of Seven Colors, a long freshwater lake whose shades of blue come from its white limestone bottom and changing depths. Days here are spent kayaking, sailing, and swimming from wooden docks, with an 18th-century fort overlooking the water.

    When to go: Jan, Feb, Mar, Dec

  4. 4 Turquoise sea and a palapa on the limestone shore of Cozumel, Quintana Roo

    Cozumel

    Mexico's largest Caribbean island, off the coast of Playa del Carmen, and one of the world's best-known scuba-diving destinations thanks to its coral reefs. The town of San Miguel is a major cruise-ship port.

    When to go: Feb, Mar, Apr, May
