I think we're going to move to Cozumel
I think so too. You heard it here first. Hi, my name is Almara, this is my husband Gordon, and together we're Ways of the World
We spent 17 days in Cozumel while slow traveling Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula
We got to explore almost every corner of the island, and today we're sharing 6 of our favorite beaches in Cozumel
Good morning from beautiful Punta Morena Beach. This is the first beach we're going to share with you in this video, and it's located on the east side of the island
And this side of the island is less developed, it's considered more off the beaten path, and it's also super windy
It's more beautiful than the west side because there's this red stop going on, and the downside is that in the west you cannot swim
But as you can see, it's absolutely stunning. Now we're going to show you more of Punta Morena Beach
And you can see the ocean on the east side is super rough
There's like two little pockets of, I guess, less turbulent water here where you can like cool down and take a dip
But they're all at their own risk, there are no lifeguards, so be careful, don't go too far out
The rip tides are pretty intense, so it's basically just good for like plopping in and cooling down
Punta Morena Beach is absolutely beautiful, we would totally spend the whole day here
Admiring the water, the colors are insanely pretty. But now it's time for us to check out the next beach
Welcome to Sanrio Beach
This is probably the most popular beach on Cozumel's east side, and you can definitely see why
It's very cool, the southern part of the beach has like kite surfing and surf schools
So if you're coming to Cozumel and want to learn how to surf, this is a pretty good spot
And a lot of families are coming here too, because the north side of the beach has a wading pool where you can chill in the water and relax
So in general, compared to other east side beaches, the waves aren't as intense
So on both sides it's blocked off by rocks so the waves don't come in too aggressively
Another great thing about Sanrio Beach is that it's absolutely free to just visit and hang out
And there's also two restaurants here, and it's just like, you consume what you want, there's no minimum consumption
So that's a lot different than other beaches that we've visited in Cozumel, and definitely a plus for Sanrio
And the vibe here is cool, it's like a nice place to hang out, we love it
We might chill here for a little bit, grab a beer, who knows. We went for it
Una cervecita. Salud. We heard the food here was really good, so we're going to try it
Bon appetit. Salud
You ready? Yeah, sure. Welcome to Playa Palacar. This is one of the most popular beaches in Cozumel
It's about a 45 minute drive south of town on the west side
And one of the reasons why it's so popular is that it's one of the fewer sandy beaches in Cozumel
So a lot of the beaches here have a rocky shore, but this one has a full beach, it's set up to be enjoyed
There's lounge chairs that you can rent for, I think, $10 a day
There's different restaurants, the food is so-so, you have to eat here. And similar to a lot of the other beaches, it's semi-private, so you don't have to pay an admission
but you do have to consume a certain amount, like one 70 pesos per person
It comes out to about $8 or $9, so it's not bad for a lunch and some drinks
Playa Palacar also has a ton of things to do. If you come here at the right time, you can jump on the boat and go on a diving trip
I think they also do snorkeling tours, and you can book that all from the shop here at the beach
They also have jet skis and banana boats and kayaks, so if you want to stay busy, this is the perfect beach for that
I did go snorkeling, though, and the snorkeling was just meh. I don't know if I went out far enough, but I only saw one fish, so not a great snorkeling beach
But overall, it's pretty cool. There's also a gift shop where you can buy different things
It's just a nice, comfortable place to spend the day. This is Playa Corona, and this beach is super famous for snorkeling
We gave it a 5 out of 5. We took one snorkeling, and it is the best that we've done in our life
We saw so many things. I'm going to put some footage so you can see it, because if you like snorkeling, this is the place that you have to come
Corona Beach is semi-private, which means that you don't have to pay an entrance fee, but you do enter through a restaurant
You do have to consume a minimum of $10 per person. We just had lunch. It was a covered lunch, and it was okay
You can also have drinks. They sell alcohol. They have bathrooms. They have showers
We really liked it because you can go snorkeling, and we can stop on the table, and everything is safe and secure
You can just take as much time as you want in the water. This is Playa El Cielo, which means Heaven Beach
As you can see, it's not hard to understand why it has the name
This beautiful beach is inside Punta Sur Eco Park. You pay at least $15 to get in there
They don't include food, but it includes access to this beautiful beach
You have chairs, and there are restaurants. The life here is very different than any of the other beaches in town, maybe because it's a little bit more expensive than the other ones
It's also a little bit far because it is on the southern tip of the island
We heard and read that some of the best beaches are here, and we have to swim like 100 meters to get there
We brought our things and our snorkels. We're going to go surfing and see for ourselves if it's one of the best
We'll let you know. We're going to go surfing
We just got back from snorkeling. We're recording back the results. The ranking is more like 2.5 out of 5
Not because it was bad, because it wasn't bad, but because we have to swim like 25 minutes
I didn't picture it pretty much the whole time. Wearing fins. If you're not wearing fins, it's going to take you like 45 minutes
I wouldn't say that this is a snorkeling beach. However, it is a pier
Look at this. We just ordered a drink. We're going to hang out here until 4 p.m. when the beach closes
Then we have an hour to depart to explore for a day
We're going to go surfing. We made it
I'm not kidding. I've had a lot of mojitos in my life. This is the best mojito I've ever had
We're going to the beach. Welcome to Sunset Beach
This place is more like a restaurant instead of a beach. But it is really special because it's supposed to be one of the best snorkeling places on the island
This is a tip from the snorkeling guide. We believe him and that's the reason why we're here
It's located on the west side of the island. It's right in the middle of town next to the cruise ship
As you can see behind me. We're not here for the beach
We're here for the surfing. We're going to the beach
That was amazing. We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach
We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach
We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach
We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach
We're going to the beach. We're going to the beach. And another thing we like about this beach is that it's open until 8 p.m
So until sunset time it's open. It's a great spot to watch the sunset which we didn't see in a lot of other beaches
They close from 4 to 6. But now we're going to enjoy happy hours, have dinner, and call it a night
Happy hours. Are you happy? I'm pretty happy. It's a happy hour
I think we're going to move to Cozumel. I think so too. You heard it here first. The end of the world is over. Ready? Yes
Thanks so much for watching this video about the best beaches in Cozumel. We're sure if you do come to Cozumel that you're going to find a beautiful beach to enjoy
