The lovely island of Cozumel has long been a favorite of visitors to Mexico. Just off the coast of the Yucatán Peninsula, the sunny weather tends to be just about perfect, and cool ocean breezes gently whisk away your cares. Coral reefs are a sanctuary for those who revere colorful marine life, while inland Mayan ruins are havens for history buffs. As far as the local towns, they’re just plain fun. If you’re looking for a party, you’ll find it along San Miguel’s waterfront north of Avenue Andrés Quintana Roo. To experience the island in its more rugged state, head to the east side, which gets more wind and bigger waves.
