Top things to do in Holbox

Away from the tourist crowds of downtown Cancun and Playa Del Carmen, Holbox Island provides a more authentic experience of this beautiful part of Mexico. The beautiful beaches like Playa Holbox are obviously the major draw here, along with outdoor activities like scuba diving and snorkeling. But if you've had enough of the beach, there are other tourist attractions on offer here, so you can enjoy another side of the Yucatan Peninsula after dropping off your bags at a luggage storage in Holbox.

Museums in Holbox

Part of the charm of Isla Holbox is that it is not completely overwhelmed by mass tourism the way the rest of the Yucatan Peninsula is. One consequence of that is that you won't find any museums on the island itself. However, it's just a short boat ride to the mainland, and there you'll find some fascinating places to explore if you're visiting during the rainy season or you just feel like feeding your brain.

• Cozumel Museum: On the nearby island of Cozumel, this local history museum explains the fascinating Mayan culture in the region and the Spanish conquest that followed the collapse of this ancient civilization. It's a great place to spend a few hours, but large bags are not allowed, so don't forget to store luggage you might have with you at a luggage storage on Holbox before you visit.
• Museo Frida Kahlo Playa Del Carmen: Dedicated to the work of internationally renowned artist Frida Kahlo, this bright and colorful gallery is the perfect place to celebrate the arts while you're in the area.
• Mayan World Museum of Mérida: If you're willing to go a little further, this fascinating museum in the nearby city of Mérida is well worth a visit. The incredible artifacts of the Spanish civilization will give you a real sense of what Mayan culture was all about.

Shopping in Holbox

Holbox isn't a place where you come to indulge in a high-end retail experience. That's kind of the point. Isla Holbox is largely unspoiled, and that means that your options for retail are limited. However, the island does have everything you need for a good holiday, including plenty of local shops that will sell you sunscreen, sandals, and anything else you may have forgotten. Plus, there are some good local handicraft stores and gift shops to explore. Just remember to leave your bags behind in luggage storage before you visit these usually small and crowded establishments.

• Papa Rana: Billing itself as the official Holbox souvenir store, this bright and cheerful shop offers everything you need when it comes to cheesy souvenirs.
• Noa: For something a little more high-end, check out the locally designed jewelry in this trendy boutique. Named after the owner, this is the perfect place to pick up a special gift inspired by the scenery of Isla Holbox itself.
• El Pueblito: Located in the heart of Holbox town, this eclectic shopping center offers everything from clothing to skincare to jewelry. There's also a good selection of restaurants here, making this one of the best places to shop on the island.

Restaurants in Holbox

Mexican food is one of the world's most popular cuisines, so there really isn't anywhere you can go in the country where you won't get great things to eat. That's as true in Isla Holbox as it is anywhere else. Because the island is not as taken over by tourism as most other cities in the area, you can expect the food here to be more local and traditional. The restaurants are generally small family-owned places where large bags aren't a good idea. Make sure to leave them in a luggage storage on Isla Holbox so you can enjoy your meal without getting in anyone's way.

• Ehuan: This classic Mexican restaurant serves local favorites like empanadas, tacos, and tostadas, and it also has an enviable selection of seafood to try.
• Et Voila!: The brightly colored interior of this restaurant conjures up Mexico far more than it does the boulevards of Paris, but the menu references France with its selection of baguettes and crepes. There's also an extensive menu of pasta, making this more of a pan-European experience. Still, the vibe is as casual as it is just about anywhere else on the island, so don't worry about a dress code.
• Colibri: As well as a smoothie bar, this casual café offers homemade pasta that takes advantage of the abundant waters off Isla Holbox with its seafood offerings. This is also a great place to come for breakfast so you can fuel up for a day of exploring the island.
