Boasting white sand beaches, coral reefs, modern amenities and an enormous swath of wild areas, it is an island paradise in every sense of the term. With countless activities both below and above the waves, your Cozumel visit is sure to be one you brag about for years to come.
A glistening tropical paradise off the coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, the island of Cozumel was once a bustling Mayan community with as many as 10,000 local residents.
Sacred to the Mayan Moon Goddess, Ix Chel, the island and its temples were an important place of pilgrimage for women seeking fertility. The remnants of that once thriving civilization can still be seen today in the small ruins of San Gervasio in the island’s forested interior.
Flash forward 2,000 years, and today Cozumel is an exciting tourist destination that holds a special place in our hearts.
With two very different sides to the beautiful island, one can access all the modern amenities around its main town of San Miguel, and yet still find numerous places on the far side of the island to get away from it all.
Cozumel has a very low crime rate and is considered a very safe area to travel to, especially compared to other parts of Mexico.
Within the highly touristic regions of the island, the crime rate is close to 0%, making the island non-threatening to travelers. There is a strong police presence on the island, as well as friendly locals who keep the island safe for tourists and residents, night and day.
The island of Cozumel is located just off the east coast of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula and is directly across the water from Playa Del Carmen and about an hour and a half from the Cancun airport.
Located on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef (the second-largest coral reef system in the world), Cozumel is an incredible spot for turquoise Caribbean waters, white sand beaches, and world-class diving and snorkeling. This is DEFINITELY the Island Life!
Looking for the best time to go to Cozumel? The tropical climate in Cozumel is reasonably predictable and easy to make plans around. Without much of a temperature difference throughout the year, (the average temperature lingers around 83° F) it’s the rainy season that travelers should pay attention to.
January – April
Wonderfully warm and clear weather-wise, this is also “peak” tourist season. If you are not a people person, consider this. The ocean and swimming pools (that aren’t heated) can still be a little chilly for some.
May – October
The hottest and “rainiest” months of the year, May to October still has plenty of sunshine. The water in the summer is warm and perfect for swimming, snorkeling & diving. The hurricane season peaks in September and October so keep an eye on the forecasts and definitely get travel insurance just in case. Fewer tourists mean you can typically expect lower rates at hotels, resorts and tour companies during this time.
November – December
The autumn-winter months are considered by many to be the best times to visit Cozumel. The hurricane season has passed by this time, the humidity is low and the Caribbean Sea is still warm. It can be a little “cool” in the evenings so bring a jacket or a light sweater.
Cozumel hurricane season begins in late May and lasts until early November, with the peak occurring between September and October. The odds of a hurricane hitting Cozumel are fairly low (only six hurricanes have hit the island in the past 30 years), but hurricanes traveling near Cozumel can still cause inclement and severe weather. Be sure to check weather reports ahead of time and we always suggest getting travel insurance during these months just in case.
