Distance around Cozumel?
My lady and I have been to Cozumel on at least six cruises, but
usually do downtown shopping or a eat and drink excursion. On our next cruise we would like to rent a car or scooter and drive all the way around the island. Nowhere on Google can I find out how far it is.We have never been to the far side of the island. I am sure some of the TAs that post to this group know. Thanks. R. |

You can drive across the island to the eastern side and then make a circle around the southern half of the island. It should take you an hour and a half to two hours, maybe longer if you make a lot of stops. You can't really get lost as there is only one cross-island road, and it circles around and comes right back to San Miguel. Be careful if you rent a car or jeep. The vendor will take an impression of your credit card, but when you return the vehicle he will claim that was just for "security deposit", and he will want to be paid in cash. It's no big deal, but you need to be aware of it in advance. |

I usually rent a jeep from Executive. I have never had any kind of credit card
problem in Mexico. Many trips. I'm sure dishonesty happens just like here on the web. I really enjoy seeing the beautiful shoreline of Cozumel, stopping at some beach clubs. Be very careful renting scooters. My experience is that the craziest drivers are those getting off the cruise ships. If you insist, pls purchase travel insurance. I especially enjoy stopping at Mr Sancho's. www.mrsanchos.com I would guess that the distance of the very good paved road is 45 to 60 miles and is not crowded at all. This map may help. http://www.gocozumel.com/island-map.htm Another fun spot is Coconuts http://www.islacozumel.net/food/coconuts/ Food and drink is very good at these places. |

BTW, a couple of weeks ago our TA set up a trip directly off the ship to Mr. Sanchos. 33 of us went in Taxis and had lots of food and drinks (beer and marguiritas) very good and reasonable. Beach was great also. Thanks again for the answers. R. |
