Cozumel is one of the most famous Mexican island “balnearios” or seaside resort towns in the Caribbean sea. Located just across the way from Playa del Carmen, it is a very convenient stop for cruise ships. Another municipality in the state of Quintana Roo on the Yucatan peninsula, it is famed for its snorkeling/scuba diving and shopping. Once a bustling Mayan pilgrimage site to fertility, now tourists arrive in droves to sip on cervezas and eat tacos.
Sorry, that’s a bit reductive, but I think the rich history of this region is lost amongst the thick blanket of tourism that is now its main economy. And I’m also a little salty that the main Cozumel museum was closed when I visited. Saltier than the rim of a fresh marg.
