Then the Mexican island of Cozumel in Mexico might just be the right call for you. While the mainland Riviera Maya is bursting at the seams, this island still holds onto a far more laid-back and friendly atmosphere that pulls you in straight away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people come here on a day trip by boat, but trust me, that&#8217;s a real shame. Cozumel is genuinely world-class when it comes to snorkelling and diving, and its remote, untamed beaches on the east coast will quite literally take your breath away. And the best part of it all? When the mainland is plagued by floating seaweed, the west coast of this island stays beautifully clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this guide you&#8217;ll find 12 tips on what to see and do on the island of Cozumel. We&#8217;ll go through the best spots for diving and swimming, I&#8217;ll help you sort out your accommodation, and I&#8217;ll add up-to-date prices for 2025 and 2026 so nothing catches you off guard once you&#8217;re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cozumel-ostrov.jpg\" alt=\"The coastline of Cozumel island (own photo)\" class=\"wp-image-54605\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cozumel-ostrov.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cozumel-ostrov-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cozumel-ostrov-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/cozumel-ostrov-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_83 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/cozumel-mexico-things-to-do\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/cozumel-mexico-things-to-do\/#When_to_visit_Cozumel_and_whats_the_deal_with_the_seaweed\" >When to visit Cozumel and what&#8217;s the deal with the seaweed<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/cozumel-mexico-things-to-do\/#Where_to_stay_and_how_much_it_costs\" >Where to stay (and how much it costs)<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/cozumel-mexico-things-to-do\/#What_to_see_and_do_in_Cozumel_12_tips\" >What to see and do in Cozumel: 12 tips<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/cozumel-mexico-things-to-do\/#1_The_ferry_from_Playa_del_Carmen_as_the_start_of_the_adventure\" >1.

The ideal time to visit Cozumel is from late November to April, when it&#8217;s pleasantly warm, dry, and the humidity is bearable. May to October brings much more intense heat and the rainy season, with the biggest hurricane risk from August to October. We covered this topic in more detail in our article on <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/?p=227772\" rel=\"noopener\">when to go to Mexico<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Cozumel has one huge advantage over the mainland Riviera Maya, and that&#8217;s sargassum (brown seaweed). Travellers and locals agree that sargassum barely affects the average tourist on Cozumel, because while the windward eastern side does get the seaweed in season, it&#8217;s undeveloped with no swimming infrastructure, whereas the western side with its beach clubs and reefs stays protected and clean even during the worst sargassum seasons on the mainland <a href=\"https:\/\/sunsetcozumel.com\/sargassum-in-cozumel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_and_how_much_it_costs\"><\/span>Where to stay (and how much it costs)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cozumel offers accommodation for every budget, but it&#8217;s important to think ahead about what kind of holiday you&#8217;re actually after. Most of the action happens on the west coast, because the eastern side is wild, windy and full of strong currents, so you won&#8217;t find any big resorts there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The west coast splits into two main areas. The first is the town of San Miguel de Cozumel itself, which is ideal if you want everything close by, fancy local restaurants and cheaper accommodation, and don&#8217;t mind having to hop over to the beach. The second option is the southern and northern hotel zones, where you&#8217;ll find more upmarket beachfront resorts, often with their own snorkelling reef, but you&#8217;ll need to grab a taxi to get into town for food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cozumel is first and foremost a <strong>diving and snorkelling paradise<\/strong>, so decide whether you&#8217;d rather be in San Miguel (life, ferry, restaurants) or right by the sea above a reef. Both have their charm \u2014 and very different price tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc91 <strong>For couples:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=cozumel-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Encantada%20Resort&amp;address=Cozumel%2C%20Mexiko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Encantada Resort<\/a><\/strong> is an adults-only boutique resort with a private beach and personal service just a few minutes south of San Miguel \u2014 peace and quiet made for two (from ~\u20ac115 per night).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc68\u200d\ud83d\udc69\u200d\ud83d\udc67 <strong>For families:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=cozumel-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Occidental%20Cozumel%20-%20All%20Inclusive&amp;address=Cozumel%2C%20Mexiko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Occidental Cozumel &#8211; All Inclusive<\/a><\/strong> is a sprawling beachfront all-inclusive resort with four pools, a kids&#8217; programme and snorkelling straight off the beach (from ~\u20ac170 per night, all-in).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udcb0 <strong>Best value for money:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=cozumel-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Hotel%20Villas%20Las%20Anclas&amp;address=Cozumel%2C%20Mexiko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Hotel Villas Las Anclas<\/a><\/strong> offers spacious apartments with a kitchenette and a garden pool just a few blocks from the main square and the ferry \u2014 the top pick among the island&#8217;s guesthouses (from ~\u20ac70 per night).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2728 <strong>For divers:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=cozumel-mexiko&amp;hotelname=Coral%20Princess%20Hotel%20%26%20Dive%20Resort&amp;address=Cozumel%2C%20Mexiko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Coral Princess Hotel &amp; Dive Resort<\/a><\/strong> has its own pier and a reef right in front of the hotel, and it repeatedly wins reader polls in diving magazines (from ~\u20ac130 per night).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Booking tip:<\/strong> with all of these hotels, choose a rate with <strong>free cancellation<\/strong> \u2014 plans change and you don&#8217;t want to pay for somewhere you never end up reaching.

You can buy tickets online or right at the port kiosks \u2014 just be prepared for various tour sellers trying to grab you there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Travellers confirm that the ferries run reliably every hour, with Ultramar and Winjet handling the crossing in about 45 minutes for a one-way ticket of around 250 pesos (about \u20ac13), while the newer Xcaret Xailing boats are a touch faster, taking just 30 minutes for around $16 (roughly \u20ac15) <a href=\"https:\/\/everythingplayadelcarmen.com\/cozumel-ferry-schedule\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Diving_at_Palancar_Reef\"><\/span>2.

Palancar Reef is an absolute legend, popularised by the famous Jacques Cousteau himself, offering over five kilometres of breathtaking coral formations, caves and swim-throughs. The water here is so incredibly clear that visibility regularly tops 30 metres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prices for a standard &#8220;two-tank dive&#8221; (two dives from a boat) in 2025 and 2026 range from $75 to $115 (roughly \u20ac70 to \u20ac105) depending on the dive centre. One traveller who dived with the local Pepe Scuba centre was thrilled when, within the first three minutes underwater, they came across a large ray and a majestic reef shark <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderwiles.com\/2025\/06\/12\/cozumel-in-early-june-worth-it-at-the-start-of-hurricane-and-rainy-season\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Diving_at_Columbia_Reef\"><\/span>3.

It&#8217;s a bit deeper and more demanding, so instructors often bring more experienced divers here. Waiting for you are enormous coral towers rising up from the depths like underwater skyscrapers, and huge sea turtles gliding past them with complete elegance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Compared to Palancar, there tend to be slightly fewer boats here, so you&#8217;ve got a better chance of enjoying the underwater world in relative peace. If you love underwater photography, this spot will completely captivate you with its colours and dramatic topography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_The_National_Marine_Park_and_the_new_fees\"><\/span>4.

That also comes with an obligation to pay a daily entrance fee, which is added to the price of diving and snorkelling trips.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Good to know: the National Marine Park entry fee rose to around 218 pesos (about \u20ac11) per person per day as of 1 January 2025, the first increase since 2020, with the money going directly towards reef protection <a href=\"https:\/\/scubaboard.com\/community\/threads\/marine-park-fee-increase-2025.652545\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>. Be sure to use only biodegradable sunscreen, ideally one explicitly labelled &#8220;reef-safe,&#8221; as ordinary sunscreens are strictly banned in some areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Far better than any sunscreen is buying a UV-protective top (a so-called rashguard) for snorkelling and diving. It protects you from burning much more reliably and, on top of that, you have a cast-iron guarantee that you&#8217;re not harming the coral.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Snorkelling_straight_from_the_shore\"><\/span>5.

It&#8217;s a vast sandbar with the most turquoise water you can possibly imagine. The water barely reaches your waist here, and dozens of beautiful starfish rest on the white seabed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can only get here by boat, so it&#8217;s a popular stop on most snorkelling trips. But remember one immensely important rule: under no circumstances may you touch the starfish, and you absolutely must not lift them above the surface for a photo. Sadly, even a few seconds in the air is fatal for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_The_Punta_Sur_Eco_Park_and_the_Celarain_lighthouse\"><\/span>7.

This place shows Cozumel from a completely different side \u2014 you&#8217;ll find mangrove lagoons, wild nature and one of the most beautiful views on the entire island. Entry to the park costs around $19 (about \u20ac18) and it&#8217;s well worth setting aside at least half a day for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When visiting Punta Sur, don&#8217;t miss the climb up the historic Celarain lighthouse. It does mean tackling very narrow concrete steps and a tight hatch at the top, but travellers agree the incredible view over the azure sea stretching to the horizon is well worth the effort \u2014 and just nearby, by the lagoon, you can often safely watch wild crocodiles from an observation tower <a href=\"https:\/\/wanderfilledlife.com\/punta-sur-cozumel\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">source<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_The_Mayan_ruins_of_San_Gervasio\"><\/span>8.

The San Gervasio archaeological site isn&#8217;t as enormous or famous as <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/best-places-visit-mexico\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Chich\u00e9n Itz\u00e1<\/a> or Tulum, but it has its own unmistakable charm. In ancient times it was a sacred site dedicated to the goddess Ixchel, protector of fertility, and every Mayan woman was apparently supposed to make a pilgrimage here at least once in her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site is hidden away in the jungle, so you&#8217;ll meet plenty of iguanas basking on the old stones. Entry is split into two parts (a state and a federal fee) and comes to about 220 pesos (around \u20ac11) in total. Don&#8217;t forget to pack a strong insect repellent, because the jungle mosquitoes can be pretty relentless.

While the west coast is calm and touristy, the eastern side of the island (locals call it &#8220;The Other Side&#8221;) is utterly untamed. There&#8217;s no electricity, no mobile signal, and the beaches are battered by huge waves off the open Caribbean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best way to explore this area is to hire an open-top jeep or an old convertible Beetle, drop the roof and simply drive along the coastal road. Along the way you&#8217;ll come across a few isolated beach bars, like the popular Coconuts, where you can grab a refreshing coconut or an ice-cold beer. Hiring a car for the day usually costs between $50 and $80 (\u20ac46 to \u20ac74), and I&#8217;d definitely recommend taking out full insurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_Relax_at_the_beach_clubs_in_the_west\"><\/span>10.

They mostly work on a minimum-spend basis \u2014 you don&#8217;t pay an entrance fee, but you commit to eating and drinking a certain amount, in return for which you get a sunbed, a parasol and water access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Among the most popular are Buccanos Beach Club, with a fantastic pool and excellent food, or the slightly quieter Money Bar, where the snorkelling is absolutely phenomenal. The minimum spend usually sits around $20 to $40 (\u20ac18 to \u20ac37) per person, which you&#8217;ll easily rack up over lunch and a few drinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_The_untamed_beaches_of_Chen_Rio_and_San_Martin\"><\/span>11.

But as I mentioned, swimming here can be pretty treacherous because of the strong undercurrents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The exception is Chen Rio beach, where the rocks form a small sheltered cove in which you can swim safely, even with kids. The water here is beautifully warm and there&#8217;s an excellent restaurant right on the beach. Another lovely stop is San Martin beach, which is perfect for long walks along the sand, collecting shells and watching pelicans diving into the waves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Evening_atmosphere_in_San_Miguel_de_Cozumel\"><\/span>12.

The heart of town is the z\u00f3calo (main square), Parque Benito Ju\u00e1rez, which comes alive in the evening with local families, street musicians and food stalls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grab some churros from a cart, sit down on a bench and soak up that easy-going Mexican atmosphere. In the lanes around the square you&#8217;ll find loads of little shops selling ceramics, silver and textiles \u2014 absolutely ideal for an evening wander.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_taste_and_where_to_eat_without_meat\"><\/span>What to taste (and where to eat without meat)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexican cuisine is a lifelong love, and on Cozumel that goes double. Even though the Yucat\u00e1n region is famous for its meat specialities (like the traditional slow-roasted pork cochinita pibil in a citrus marinade, or fresh fish ceviche), as a vegetarian you definitely won&#8217;t go hungry here \u2014 quite the opposite!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Venture away from the main tourist drag on the waterfront and slip into the small local eateries known as &#8220;loncher\u00edas.&#8221; Be sure to try the fresh cheese quesadillas served with a generous dollop of guacamole, which tastes far more intense here than back home. An absolute treat is the tacos filled with grilled cactus (nopales), beans, mushrooms or even hibiscus flowers (tacos de jamaica), which have a wonderful sweet-and-sour flavour. And if you&#8217;re really hungry, order chiles rellenos \u2014 large spicy peppers stuffed with cheese, dipped in batter and smothered in tomato sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re after something really healthy and vegan, pop into the restaurant La Cocina de Silvia or the little bistro Nutrisano. They do great fresh juices, smoothie bowls and excellent vegetarian versions of the Mexican classics. To drink, definitely try agua de chaya \u2014 a refreshing drink made from local chaya leaves blended with lemon and pineapple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_tips_for_your_trip\"><\/span>Practical tips for your trip<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So that nothing on the island catches you off guard, I&#8217;ve put together a few more practical bits of advice that are definitely worth knowing before you set off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Money and payment:<\/strong> The official currency is the Mexican peso (MXN), but US dollars (USD) are widely accepted everywhere. The catch is that when you pay in dollars, vendors set their own exchange rate, which is often very poor. That&#8217;s why I recommend withdrawing pesos from an ATM. But watch out for ATMs right out on the street \u2014 because of frequent skimming (card copying), always withdraw cash from machines located inside the branches of official banks (e.g. Santander, HSBC, Banorte). Also, never accept the unfavourable dynamic currency conversion (DCC) rate at the terminal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Getting around the island:<\/strong> Apps like Uber or Cabify sadly don&#8217;t work on Cozumel \u2014 transport here is firmly controlled by the local taxi union. The taxis are reliable but fairly expensive. Travellers report that a short ride from town a little way along the coast costs around 150 pesos (about \u20ac8). Always agree the price with the driver before you get in.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Hiring a scooter:<\/strong> Hiring a scooter is hugely popular and cheap (around $25 \/ \u20ac23 per day), but I have to be honest and warn you. The island&#8217;s hospitals are full of tourists who couldn&#8217;t handle a scooter. The roads get slippery after rain and the locals drive pretty wildly. If you&#8217;ve no scooter experience from home, this isn&#8217;t the place to learn \u2014 hire a car instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety:<\/strong> Cozumel is generally considered one of the safest places in Mexico, far safer than mainland <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/cancun-mexico\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Canc\u00fan<\/a> or Tulum. Crime targeting tourists is minimal here, but of course common sense still applies \u2014 don&#8217;t leave valuables unattended on the beach, and avoid the unlit lanes on the edge of town at night.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If someone in the street or at the ferry approaches you offering &#8220;island information&#8221; or invites you to a free breakfast, smile, decline and walk on. It&#8217;s almost always a timeshare seller (shared apartment ownership) who can trap you in a meeting room for four hours, relentlessly pushing you to sign a bad contract.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can book diving and snorkelling trips on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"GetYourGuide\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/getyourguide\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">GetYourGuide<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_the_ferry_ride_to_Cozumel_take\"><\/span>How long does the ferry ride to Cozumel take?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The ferry ride from the port in Playa del Carmen takes about 45 minutes with the standard ferries operated by Ultramar or Winjet. The newer catamarans from Xcaret Xailing can make the trip in as little as 30 minutes, and boats run throughout the day approximately every hour.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Is_Cozumel_safe_for_tourists\"><\/span>Is Cozumel safe for tourists?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nYes, the island is considered one of the safest destinations in all of Mexico, and crime is significantly lower here than on the mainland. However, as anywhere else, it&#8217;s good to follow basic precautions and keep an eye on your belongings at the beach.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_pay_by_card_in_Cozumel\"><\/span>Can you pay by card in Cozumel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nIn larger restaurants, hotels and beach clubs you&#8217;ll pay by card without any problems. But if you&#8217;re heading to the eastern side of the island, to small local eateries or want to buy something from street stalls, definitely have enough cash in pesos with you.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Are_there_seaweed_sargassum_on_the_beaches_in_Cozumel\"><\/span>Are there seaweed (sargassum) on the beaches in Cozumel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nThe west coast, where most beach clubs and dive sites are located, is usually protected from seaweed and stays beautifully clean all year round. Seaweed occasionally appears on the eastern windward coast, where there isn&#8217;t suitable infrastructure for swimming anyway.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_I_need_an_advanced_certification_for_diving_in_Cozumel\"><\/span>Do I need an advanced certification for diving in Cozumel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>For most reefs, like the famous Palancar, a basic Open Water Diver certification is sufficient, as many dives take place at depths up to 18 meters. For deeper dives or sites with stronger currents, instructors require more advanced experience and an Advanced certification.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_drink_tap_water_on_the_island\"><\/span>Can you drink tap water on the island?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>&#8220;`html<br \/>\nUnder no circumstances is tap water in Mexico safe to drink for tourists, and it could cause you serious intestinal problems. Always buy bottled water and use it for brushing your teeth too; ice in restaurants is usually safe though, as it&#8217;s made from filtered water.<br \/>\n&#8220;`<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1780300500006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_it_cost_to_rent_a_car_in_Cozumel\"><\/span>How much does it cost to rent a car in Cozumel?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Car rental, most often an open-top jeep or an old Beetle, ranges between 50 and 80 USD (approx. \u20ac45 to \u20ac70) per day depending on the season.
