Cozumel Overview

By Travel Expert: Candyce H. Stapen

It's the marine life that draws most vacationers to Cozumel, the largest island in the Mexican Caribbean. Cozumel, a 30-minute ferry ride from the mainland, captures kudos for its spectacular diving and snorkeling. The surrounding sea nourishes the second largest reef system in the world, the Great Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, which runs for 450 miles down the Caribbean to Central America. With visibility sometimes approaching 100 feet, it's easy for snorkelers and divers to view the boulder-size gardens of brain coral along with sponges, nurse sharks, grouper, and schools of rainbow-colored fish.
