Cozumel is Mexico’s largest Caribbean Island, it lies just 12 miles off the Yucatan coast. This stunning tropical retreat offers you archaeological wonders and a rich Mayan and Mexican culture. With white sand beaches, turquoise waters and beautiful coral reefs, Cozumel offers great scuba diving, water sports or just lazy days at the beach.
San Miguel is Cozumel’s main town and it offers food and drink to suit all tastes. The cuisine ranges from a perfect blend of Mexican and Caribbean tastes, to more traditional international dishes include pizza and sushi. Fresh seafood dishes are a specialty and no visit is complete without trying the famous local clawless lobster.
At night you can see the fiery sun set over the glistening Caribbean Sea before heading to one of the island’s countless bars or night clubs. During the day you may want to find some gifts in numerous shops offering Mexican handcrafts, hammocks, ceramics, leather, straw hats, souvenirs and jewelry. San Miguel also has a colorful daily market which is a pleasant place to browse for more unusual presents.
From Cozumel it is also possible to make many tours and excursions. You can snorkel, take a jeep ride or visit ruins on the island itself. Or make a day trip to the mainland where you can visit famous Mayan ruins at Tulum, Coba or Chichen Itza. The more adventurous may want to go deep sea fishing or even swim with dolphins. And if the sea’s reefs don’t offer enough for hardened scuba divers why not try diving in one of Yucatan’s many fresh water cenotes instead?
The tropical Caribbean climate in Cozumel means you are guaranteed good weather almost any time of year. From March to June the skies are usually sunny and the sea calm; July to October is rainy season, so you may get some cloud and rain, but there are still many hours of sunshine and the sea normally still flat; November to February is a bit cooler but still sunny, and the sea may be a little choppier.
