Isla Blanca Kitesurfing (Chacmuchuch Lagoon)
21° 21.6′ N · 86° 48.3′ W · approximate
The knee-deep, flat-water Chacmuchuch lagoon behind the Isla Blanca peninsula is one of the best kite spots in Mexico, with long beaches, few obstacles and views across the Bahía de Mujeres to Isla Contoy.
Practical
Coordinate is approximate: on the lagoon shore near the Isla Blanca settlement (OpenStreetMap places Isla Blanca at 21.3744, -86.7929 and Laguna Chacmochuch at 21.3396, -86.8333). Por Esto (May 2026): three kite camps, one by Playa Acapulquito; 50-plus riders a day in the February-June season with south winds best and gusts above 35 km/h; private 3-hour lessons MXN 3,500, all-day experiences MXN 8,550. Water barely knee-deep. Access by a rough road north of Costa Mujeres - land transport, not by boat.
