Cozumel – Part 2 – Taking In The Sights

There are not a lot of cruise ships in port on Sundays in Cozumel, so a lot of the businesses are closed, allowing families to spend time together. The rest of the week there can be up to 10 cruise ships in port all at the same time. Of course we were diving in the morning, but after diving, we spent some time at the beach before touring around to take in the sights.

Relaxing at Palancar Beach.

Cozumel is a small island, so it doesn’t take long to take in the sights for the whole island in one day. We started up north and worked our way south and around.

The north and south parts of the island are completely different.

The lighthouse and marina up north for larger boats.

A little church up north.

One of my absolute favorite statues. It’s a dedication to scuba divers and the abundant marine life in Cozumel. There are all kinds of fun, colorful statues all over the island.

The ferry terminal, with ferries coming in from Playa del Carmen.

The main part of town, in San Miguel.

This is supposed to represent the corals.

A cute little church in town. Church and religion are very important to everyone in Cozumel. There are many religious options, but the predominant religion is by large the Catholic religion.

El Cedral is kind of in the central part of the island. It is mostly agricultural there.

We had a friendly family of pigs run out to the car to greet us.

The little piglets were so darn cute.

We drove down south to Punta Sur. We’ve been many, many times, but it is always so beautiful to see. It’s wild and untamed territory for the most part. The waters are rough but beautiful. If you can get to the beaches, they are the same.

After making the loop around the island, we came back up to where we were staying and it was time for dinner. We were actually staying in the heart of town this time. Usually we stay away from the action, down south. I will NEVER stay in town again though. It was so loud and noisy, particularly at night. I like my peace and quiet.

Before dinner though, we stopped to enjoy the gorgeous sunset.
