The city of Cozumel is built around the main square in downtown, facing the ferry terminal and the beach. The Rafael Melgar Avenue is the main artery in the city, running from North to South along the beach with all the restaurants, mall, stores and night clubs. The cruise ships’ pier is also located just off the avenue.

Cozumel is a small town to discover. You can easily walk your way around downtown and the beach front. You can also rent a horse carriage to enjoy the coastline in a romantic ride. If you need to move further than downtown, we recommend you to use the taxis as the distances can build up easily. For instance the Maya ruins of San Gervasio are located 3 miles off the city in the center of the Island.

San Gervasio and El Cedral are the two main archaeological sites in Cozumel and are worth the visit. For shopping, Cozumel duty free shops are a must, located along the coastline. Silver and gold jewelry is famous for its quality and attractive price.
