Cozumel Beach Break

Beautiful Cozumel

On our final day on our Western Caribbean cruise from New Orleans, we were still at Cozumel. This day we decided to do a beach break day and have some time afterward for shopping.  We purchased the cruise’s beach break tour to Playa Del Sol for a few hours. At the time, this was our first Caribbean beach day.

On this excursion we enjoyed lunch, drinks, and use of a pool, beach, water toys, and snorkeling.   I think we spent most of the afternoon though, walking the beach and laying around in the hammocks under the palm trees. We really enjoyed ourselves, and found it a particularly relaxing time looking out over the Caribbean Sea listening to the island music.

On our way back to the ship, we stopped off for some shopping around the pier area, and purchased some Mexican art for our walls at home. We always enjoy looking for souvenirs, and in Mexico, you can get some very good deals from some of the vendors. Do not be afraid to bargain, it is part of the fun at the market stands.

Whether you shop, sail, snorkel, or just enjoy an afternoon staring out at the ocean, Cozumel is always a highlight of any Western Caribbean cruise.

Note: If you are interested in more about Playa Del Sol, look for its new name, Playa Mia. As I checked online, it also looks like they have a lot more attractions and things to offer for a beach break day as they have made several improvements. This may be an option for us on our next day in Cozumel.
