Best time to take a vacation to Cozumel
-
Cozumel travel conditions stay fairly consistent year round, but like many Caribbean hotspots, the winter high season brings the mildest weather, biggest crowds and highest prices. Savvy travelers go in the summer during low season (translation: reduced hotel rates) -- and divers and snorkelers take advantage of calm waters. Hurricane season spans from June through November.
Celebrate Mexican holidays like Cinco de Mayo (May 5) and Dia de los Muertos (November 1st and 2nd) on your Cozumel vacation. Another can't-miss is Carnival (think Mexican Mardi Gras) which kicks off right before Lent in late February or early March.
Insider tips for Cozumel travel
-
Best Beaches
For good sunbathing, hit the natural sandy beaches on the north and south ends of the island, while the rocky beaches near town offer the best nearshore snorkeling.
-
Off-Strip Shopping
Explore beyond the waterfront jewelry and souvenir shops—San Miguel proper has better deals, especially in the evenings when the cruise-ship crowds have receded.
-
Downtown Dining
Find food aplenty in San Miguel, from cosmopolitan fine dining fare to late-night walk-ups selling traditional Yucatecan snacks for a song.
-
Drift Diving
World-famous among scuba divers for its offshore currents, Cozumel offers ripping underwater rides at top-tier dive sites like Tormentos Reef.
-
A Link to the Past
Find the Temple of the Hands—which bears red-painted palm prints on its walls—among the jungle-cloaked ruins at San Gervasio.
Cozumel highlights
-
-
Chankanaab Park
Families will find lots to do at this popular beach eco park from dolphin encounters and great snorkeling to (minor) Mayan ruins and more.
-
Palancar Reef
Cozumel's largest reef boasts a half-dozen boat-accessible dive sites with plunging walls, sun-dappled sea caves, and dramatic underwater canyons.
-
San Gervasio
Head a few hours outside San Miguel to this small jungle complex of ancient Mayan ruins. You can hire a guide or explore on your own.
-
Offshore Fishing
Show your big-gaming fishing skills in Cozumel's offshore waters. Arrange a local charter to catch tuna, mahi mahi, marlin, sailfish and more.
-
Hacienda Antigua Tequila Tour
Want to learn how agave turns into tequila? Take a guided tour and see how this award-winning label crops, pulps, ferments and distills this famous plant. Enjoy a tasting as well as a souvenir shop, restaurant and bar.
-
Cozumel Museum
The downtown museum describes Cozumel's unique natural ecosystems and its ancient and colonial histories, complete with Mayan and Conquistador relics.
-
Passion Island
A private-island beach club off the northern shore, Passion Island is a popular all-inclusive day trip for cruise shippers.
-
Plaza Central
The town square is the de facto hangout spot for tourists and locals alike, especially on Sunday evenings, with live music and dancing.
-
Punta Este
Escape the crowds on the undeveloped east side of the island. This wind-swept shore is great for beachcombing, but not swimming—the water has dangerous currents.
