Adventures in Traveling pt3 Cozumel

Our favorite part of the whole vacation was visiting the Mexican island of Cozumel. We had originally planned to take a taxi to a few spots around the island that I had researched before getting there but when we got off the ship we found it would be only a little more to rent a car for the whole day so that is what we did. Our first stop was Paradise Beach.


After spending a few hours there we jumped in our cute little rental car and headed to the other side of the island. When we asked the rental car guy the best beach and the best place for lunch he gave us a map and drew a line on it and said go here, it was on the opposite side of the island then most of the tourist stuff! We could not believe how beautiful the other side of the island was(the locals definitely know best).



It looked like this for miles and miles! And there were only a handful of people at each beach. They didn't recommend swimming on this side because of the rough water but it was by far the most scenic. We stoped for lunch where our rental car friend told us to, a little place called Coconuts. It was on a cliff overlooking the ocean! Cannot get much better than that.

We are so thankful we got to go on this vacation and hope to have another opportunity like this again someday!
