  1. Be careful!!!! I was just in Cozumel for the 1st time in December and we went snorkeling. As soon as I jumped into the water I felt something sting me. My husband was laughing and said nothing was around me. But I kept getting stung over and over again. Apparently I was not the only person because they cut our snorkeling tour short, it was only15 minutes long. Getting back into the boat I kept getting stung. Talking to some of the other women on board they got stung too. They then dropped us off at a beach and I was swelling up all over. I took a shower but that didn't help. I went and saw a medic and he told me "When yellow fish fell threaten the release a poison toxin in the water". He then took some vinegar and sprayed me down with it, and it finally took the sting away.  Its funny NOBODY wanted to talk about it, No one from the snorkeling tour, or the cruise ship we were on. They want to sell their tours, so no one warns you about these things. So HAVE FUN!!!!


  2. Try going to Playa Del Carmen it's somewhat close by it's beautiful and the beaches are amazing.  Honestly they are better than Conzumel, or maybe i say this because i got stung by a rare jellyfish.

  3. Beaches on the western side are nice for sunbathing but due to currents do not recommend kids going into the water.

    Eastern side (facing Yucatan Peninsula) has a lot of ironshore and many resorts rely heavily on man-made beachlike areas and their pool areas.  No "waves" on that side to speak of but still very pretty.

    It's all gorgeous Caribbean blue, unless the day is cloudy and overcast; the sea reflects the sky.

    Chankanaab has a pretty decent beach, as does Playa Azul.  San Francisco Beach is nice.  Some beach areas are controlled by beach "clubs" where you pay a small entry fee (Corona Beach Club for example); or perhaps need to buy lunch or some cervezas.

  4. Playa Azul has really clear, beautiful and calm water. You have to pay a small fee to access it, as it is a 'Beach Club' with an attached hotel. It's well worth it. There is a beach bar as well. Have fun!

  5. all cozumel is like that ...

    but if you go to playa del carmen ... go to MAMITAS BEACH...

  6. Any of the beaches on the west side of the island are beautiful. Here is a link to a interactive map that describes each beach. Just click the red umbrellas.

    But the best way to enjoy the water is to take a boat excursion and go snorkeling or diving.

    Rent a jeep or take taxi tour to the other side of the island. They call it the "wild side" because it has surf and riptides but they have some fantastic places to get some great photos.

    Stop at Chen Rio and go for a swim. An area is roped off that is safe.

    Enjoy and have a great trip)
