Cozumel






Cozumel is a mecca for tourists seeking sun, watered down drinks, and cheap trinkets. The west side of the island is crowded with bars, hotels, and t-shirt shops. The east side of the island however is surprisingly beautiful. The beach has soft white sand and the huge volcanic rock deposits make the area very unique. This portion of the island has very few people and is densely populated with vegetation.
Cozumel facts:
  • Cozumel is Mayan for "Island of the Swallows"
  • The third largest island in Mexico
  • Cozumel relies solely on tourism for income
  • The highest natural point on the island is less than 15 meters above sea-level

These photos were taken earlier this year.
