Step back in time with Tarzán Beach Club, a jewel nestled in the heart of Playa Norte. This place is pure nostalgia, mirroring the vibes of Isla Mujeres from a simpler time. It might not be a trendy sprawling beachfront (though sometimes it’s huge), but what it lacks in size, it more than makes up for with its infectious fun atmosphere.

Offering umbrellaed beach lounges, paddleboards, and kayaks for rent, it’s the perfect place to bask in the sun or go for a paddle adventure. The bar is bustling with a range of cocktails, beers, shots, and refreshments, and the food is hearty, reasonably priced, and comes in satisfying portions. As the day winds down, Tarzán sticks around a little longer than its beach club counterparts, making it a delightful spot to watch the sunset.

Here’s a sprinkle of Isla Mujeres lore. When you cross paths with the namesake, the one and only Tarzán, travel back three decades in your mind. Picture Playa Norte void of beach clubs and umbrella-shaded lounges, just a smattering of tourists lounging on Mexican blankets and Tarzan himself galloping bareback down the beach in his iconic white shorts, arms wide open to the world.
