Cozumel Travel Guide
The Reef National Park, a protected 30,000 acre area, located in the south of the island, is home to 85 percent of the island's dive sites. Filled with limestone caves, tunnels, and rare black coral, its spectacular array of marine life attract diving enthusiast from around the world.
A haven for nature lovers, divers, and romantics, Cozumel was considered by ancient Mayans to be the home of Ixchel, the goddess of love and fertility. Cozumel provides a combination of the best Mexico has to offer (friendly people, affordable prices, great dining/shopping, amazing diving and a fascinating history and culture), all with the allure of a Caribbean island vacation.
Cozumel is largest island in the Mexican Caribbean, spanning 10 miles wide and 30 miles long of tranquil, tropical paradise! It's located only 12 miles from the mainland and easily accessible with a 45 minute ferry ride. The island is wrapped in pure white sandy beaches and crystal clear turquoise waters, beneath which lies the second largest coral reef in the world! Cozumel's only town, San Miguel, is located on the western side of the island and is home to most of the hotels and resorts. Visitors have the choice of all-inclusive resorts, rustic oceanfront villas, and beachside bungalows.
