4 Best Shopping in Isla Mujeres, Mexico
Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Isla Mujeres right now.
Although Isla produces few local crafts, the streets are filled with souvenir shops selling cheap T-shirts, garish ceramics, and seashells glued onto a variety of objects. Amid all the junk you may find good Mexican folk art, hammocks, textiles, and silver jewelry. Most stores are small family operations that don’t take credit cards, but almost everyone gladly accepts American dollars. Stores that do take credit cards sometimes tack on a fee to offset the commission they must pay. Hours are generally Monday through Saturday 10–1 and 4–7, although many stores stay open during siesta hours (1–4).
Joyería Maritza
Reasonably priced jewelry from Taxco (Mexico's silver capital) and crafts from Oaxaca are sold at Joyería Maritza.
Silver Factory Taxaco

Women's Beading Cooperative
Downtown
Nearly 60 local women are part of this beading cooperative, which creates handcrafted jewelry and sells it for a very reasonable price. It’s worth the drive to the middle of the island to see these talented artisans at work.
