Cozumel is Mexican island in the Caribbean Sea at tip of the Yucatan Peninsula, regular port of call on Western Caribbean itineraries, particularly those leaving from Florida. The main town on the island is San Miguel de Cozumel. Most of the island’s restaurants, hotels, stores, and dive shops are concentrated downtown and along the two hotel zones that fan out on the leeward coast to the north and south of San Miguel. Cozumel’s solitude-seeking windward side has a few beach-bar restaurants, one hotel, and miles of deserted beaches. Isla Cozumel is very famous for its diving and snorkeling because of the magnificent coral reefs that are only a short distance from the shore. Drift diving was pretty much created in Cozumel, because of the perfect current that flows along the island, which allows divers to use very little energy to enjoy the famous reefs in Cozumel.
