Whatever you order
The southwest coast of Cozumel is where the island gets it right. The reef takes the swell before it reaches you, so the water is flat, warm and clear enough to see your feet at chest depth. The palms come right down to the sand. There are no jet ski hawkers walking the beach every four minutes.
You get a lounger and shade for the day, and then you decide how ambitious you want to be. Snorkel gear is yours to use — the shore reef here holds parrotfish, sergeant majors and the occasional ray. Kayaks and paddleboards are free to take out. Or you claim a hammock at 10:30 and defend it until 3.
Lunch is not a buffet. You order from the kitchen: whole fried fish, ceviche, tacos gobernador, guacamole made when you ask for it. The bar runs on micheladas and margaritas that respect the tequila. Kids get shallow water with no drop-off, which is why families end up staying the whole day instead of the two hours they planned.
We pick you up, we bring you back, and in between nobody asks you to do anything. Some days that is the best tour on the island.
9:30 AM
We collect you in San Miguel and follow the coast road south, past Chankanaab and the dive shops, about 25 minutes.
10:00 AM
Loungers assigned, welcome drink in hand, lockers sorted. Gear is issued whenever you feel like using it.
11:00 AM
Snorkel the shore reef, take a kayak past the point, or float. The water stays waist-deep a long way out.
1:00 PM
Order from the kitchen. Whole fish, ceviche, tacos, guacamole. Take your time, the beach is not going anywhere.
2:30 PM
Best light of the day for photos, best hour of the day for a nap. Both are respectable choices.
3:30 PM
Freshwater showers, then the drive back to your hotel or pier by around 4:00 PM.
One welcome drink is included. Food and additional drinks are ordered à la carte. Budget around 20 to 30 USD per person for a full lunch with drinks.
It is genuinely decent for a shore reef: parrotfish, sergeant majors, angelfish and sometimes a southern stingray. For Palancar-level reef, add our boat snorkeling tour.
Yes. The entry is sand, the water stays shallow for a long stretch, and there is shade. Bring your own infant flotation, the club does not stock small sizes.
Caribbean rain is usually 30 minutes and gone. There is covered palapa seating. If a full storm shuts the day down, we reschedule or refund.
