The main square and downtown area
There is really only one city on Cozumel and although the
name is San Miguel, most simply refer to it as Cozumel. The downtown and main square is a beautiful area with lovely shops for jewelry, T-shirts
and exciting Mexican and Mayan decorations and souvenirs. There are also a
number of great restaurants downtown, plus banks and ATM machines,
pharmacies and a local market with handicrafts, leather and silver. Be
sure to visit the square Sunday evening where there is fun, fiestas and music to
enjoy. Taxis are very plentiful, and reasonably priced and rental
vehicles are available.

Looking toward the water from Ave. Rafael Melgar
Avenida Rafael Melgar is the main waterfront street with a beautiful view of the
ocean. The street is lined with shops of all kinds and there are several very
striking monuments, including the Mayan statues and the divers arch. Right
across from the main square is the dock where you can catch a ferry to the
mainland. The trip takes about 40 minutes, and the ferry takes you to Playa
del Carmen. From there you can take a bus to Cancun, Tulum, Xcaret or
other sites in the Yucatan.

North of town, the Marina area
About a mile north of town you'll find the north marina, often
called the Abrigo. You're likely to see some of the local residents there...sunning
themselves on the ledges. You may see gray, black, green or even orange
and black striped iguanas. Generally they
will run away when you get too close as they are usually more afraid of you than you are of them.

Residential Area
The newest, and what many consider the nicest residential area on Cozumel is called Corpus Cristi, and it includes an
area between this large church on 20th Ave. south and the waterfront street,
Ave. Rafael Melgar (approximately where Plaza Las Glorias hotel is
located) The Corpus Cristi residential area is a several blocks wide,
extending from approximately 11th street South to about 23rd street South. In
general, property in this area is more expensive than in most other areas of
Cozumel. The location is within walking distance to the main square (about
3/4 of a mile) close to a very large grocery store and 6 screen cinema and
within walking distance to Playa Caletita, a local in-town beach area. The
closer you are to the ocean of course, the higher the cost of the
land. There are fewer and fewer vacant lots in Corpus Cristi and many
street that has just one or two homes on them 3 or 4 years ago, now have homes
on most of the lots. You will find a few very popular vacation rental villas in
Corpus Cristi, but local residents of Cozumel find this area very appealing too.
The majority of the homes here are private residences.
