Holbox Island - hola

Ok...don't tell too many people but I have found a little island paradise - in Mexico of all places. This small island NW of Cancun is perfect for a getaway from it all. It has yet to be discovered by the masses and I encourage you to keep it our little secret if you have the chance to visit! :)

Holbox Island (pron. hole-bosh) is 26 miles long and accessible (by flying) through the main areas of Playa del Carmen and Cancun. You can also take a ferry or rent a boat from Chiquila (about 2.5 hours from Cancun). There are no cars on the island but you are able to rent golf carts, bikes and scooters once you arrive.

Locals make their living primarily on fishing and it's not unusual to witness the catch of the day making its way through the village. The streets are made of white sand and it's a nice separation from the bustle of everyday life. It truly is an island retreat!
