Isla Contoy Bird Sanctuary & Yucatán Wildlife

Isla Contoy (the uninhabited island national park 30 km north of Isla Mujeres — one of the most important seabird nesting colonies in the Mexican Caribbean, with over 150 bird species including large colonies of the magnificent frigatebird, the brown pelican, and the red-footed booby) and the rich marine life of the northern Yucatán coast (the whale sharks, the loggerhead sea turtles, the spotted eagle rays, and the vast schools of fish) make the waters north of Cancún one of the most important marine wildlife areas in the Americas.
