This is also where the islands five coral reefs are waiting to be discovered. Two of the best beaches in this area are Playa Mia and Playa San Francisco. Beyond Parque Punta Sur at the southern most tip of the island there are numerous wild and secluded stretches of sand.

Cozumel: The Complete Guide (Paperback)

 

Book Description
The island of Cozumel draws thousands of visitors every day. Known for its world-famous dive sites and beautiful white beaches, it’s located on the second largest barrier reef system in the world. For the past nine years, author Patricia A. Holt has been visiting this tropical paradise—and she can never get enough!

After growing frustrated with the lack of comprehensive guides to Cozumel, Holt took matters into her own hands. Based on her trips and travel experiences, Holt divulges her recommendations for navigating the island:

  • General information—entry requirements, medical information, climate, and exchange rates
  • Where to stay—bed-and-breakfasts, economy hotels, all-inclusive resorts, villa rentals
  • Getting around—from bus to bike and everything in between
  • Miscellaneous—diving, eating, shopping, useful Web sites, etc.

Whether you’re traveling on a shoestring budget or planning to blow your bank account, Cozumel: The Complete Guide will be a welcome asset in planning your trip.

Review - Great reference for the island of Cozumel with a lot of detailed hints (reads like someone's diary). And as far as we've found, the author is right: Cozumel is usually a small blip in books dedicated almost solely to Cancun (or the entire Yucatan Peninsula). If you're spending more than one day on the island, definitely worth it.

Review - I have been coming to Cozumel for 12 years and this year I purchased this island directory. My wife and I had a great time trying out all the new and out of the way restaurants we didnt even know existed. This book is well worth the money and I recommend it to everyone visiting Cozumel even if you have been there before.
