Isla Mujeres beaches, specifically Playa Norte and Playa Centro, have maintained high environmental standards, receiving the Playa Platino distinction for the fourth consecutive year. This certification recognizes excellence in cleanliness, conservation, and waste management.

In response to an atypical accumulation of sargassum, a collaborative cleanup operation was conducted at Playa Norte. This effort involved the municipal government, the Secretariat of the Navy, local fishermen, and volunteers, resulting in the removal of approximately 240 tons of macroalgae. Authorities continue to monitor beach conditions through aerial patrols and technological tools to manage future sargassum arrivals.
