Cozumel Beaches Close to Town |
|
Playa Calatitas, just south of the main downtown area
|
|
Playa Calatita is about 1 1/2
miles south of the main square downtown. There is a man made sandy
beach area, a walkway, a grassy area and palapas for shade.
There are also showers and a new restaurant. Currently, the sand here is
coarse, and there is a narrow area where you can walk into the
water. |
|
Playa
Casitas, north of the main downtown area
|
|
This public beach, Playa Casitas, is about 1 1/2
miles north of the main square and just a couple of blocks north of the airport road. There is some
natural sand here and additional, fine sand has been added.
A nice public beach area with reasonable entry to the ocean. |
Cozumel Beaches South, on the Western Side of the Island
|
|
Only about 4 miles south of town you'll find the
Money Bar Beach Club at Dzul Ha Reef.
It's not only close to town, it's one of the best places on the island
to snorkel. They have BeachComber Watersports offering
snorkeling tours, snorkel equipment for rent, glass bottom kayaks and
boogie boards for rent too.
In addition, the Money Bar has a good restaurant that's open for
breakfast, lunch and dinner. |
|
Uvas
Beach Club is on the old oceanfront road, about 5 miles south of the
downtown area on the western side of the island. There is an entry
fee here. |
About 8 miles south of town there are 3 beach clubs. They are
Ocean, San Francisco and Paradise Beach. The entries for Ocean and
San Franchisct Beach are close together. Drive just a little bit
(maybe 100 yards more)
for the entry to Paradise Beach.
Below are photos from Ocean. The last time I was at Ocean,
there was still had free entry to this
beach club and guests who order from the bar or restaurant were
allowed free use of their beach chairs as well.
|
|
|
Paradise Beach is just past Ocean and San
Francisco Beach. At Paradise Beach there is a large swimming
pool, a bar by the pool, a restaurant, beach chairs,
etc. There is a small entry fee, and if you want to be able
to use all the facilities,
including the rafts in the ocean, there is an additional
charge. |
|
Mr Sancho's Beach Club had free entry the
last time we were there. The swimming pool is small. |
Cozumel Beaches on the Eastern Side of the Island
|
|
The eastern side of the island has a number of beautiful sand
beaches but swimming over on the eastern side can be dangerous because of the
current and undertow in the Gulf of Mexico so please be very careful.
If you take Ave. Juarez in town going east, it becomes the
transversal road that will take you to the
eastern side of the island.
|
As you reach the ocean (the island is only about 10
miles wide) just to your left is Mezcalitos, the ocean is in front of you and slightly to the right is Seņor
Iguanas |
|
The road goes to the right and as you
continue your drive you'll enjoy the beautiful ocean view. After a
bit of a drive,
be on the looking for the sign for
Coconuts
Walk up the stone steps leading to Coconuts as it's on a cliff, and you'll be
treated to a wonderful view. |
|
At the left is a look at the cliff where Coconuts
is located, on the right, some of tables at Coconuts and below, one of the
views.
Definitely worth a stop for lunch or for a beer, chips and salsa.
|
|
Not far south of Coconut is one
of the most beautiful beaches on the eastern side... Chen Rio,
and it's quite popular.
|
|
Near the southern end of the island, the road turn back west and then
goes north along the western side of the island.
This stop is just across the road from the ocean.
