Things to do in Cozumel

TemplePhoto: Wikimedia Commons (Los Murcielagos, San Gervasio.JPG)
San Gervasio
Cozumel's only surviving Maya ceremonial complex, built for Ix Chel — goddess of fertility — back when women made cross-sea pilgrimages here. Modest ruins by Chichen Itza standards; resident iguanas included at no extra charge.

Arrecifes de Cozumel National Park
The reef system that made Cozumel diving famous — visibility consistently exceeding 30 metres, coral walls dropping hundreds of feet, and an ecosystem healthy enough to earn national park protection in 1996. Access is via snorkel or dive boat — no pier, no ticket booth, which is precisely the point.
~17.9 km away
P
NaturePunta Sur
A 1,000-acre eco-park at Cozumel's southern tip: crocodile lagoon, working lighthouse, Mayan watchtower ruins, and coastline too rough to swim — which keeps it dramatically photogenic and refreshingly uncrowded. One entry fee; bring more sunscreen than seems reasonable.

Celarain Lighthouse
An early 20th-century working lighthouse at Cozumel's southernmost point — inside Punta Sur eco-park — climbable for views of the churning channel below. The keeper's quarters serve as a compact maritime museum; the breeze at the top is not optional.
