    For free public access beaches, you have to just keep your yes open as you’re driving on Calle Costera Sur. Look for hidden roads or paths within the trees as you’re driving. These harder to spot roads (some I’ve seen are dirt while others are paved but need a lot of work) are usually between the main roads and gates that lead you to the beach clubs. Over the years, I’ve found some really nice beaches between beach clubs that the locals use - they become easier to find once you start getting closer to Punto Sur and away from the heavy tourist-trafficked part of the island. I found a really great one last summer on the other side of Cozumel, as soon as you pass Punto Sur and begin to go north - on the Atlantic Ocean side. Definitely less rocky on that side.

The restaurant where you had lunch is exactly my kind of place. Will definitely bookmark this for future trips. I am craving to come back - my last trip was October but there was a heatwave so I hid most of the time 😂. I'm hoping to come back Apr or May. 🙏🏻 And this time i will visit Playa del Carmen.

    Thanks for that tour. Well done. I’ve done that excursion several times and I highly recommend it.
    Many good memories.
    I have advised many friends to take that trip while visiting PDC, or even while visiting Cozumel on a cruise boat.
    It is Not like driving in a bustling city like Cancun, Puerto Vallarta or Manzanillo. Very relaxed. DO IT !!!
    Anyway……seems I won’t need to go to Cozumel any time soon, ‘cuz you’ve already taken me for the 2024 season.

      If you do stay this Tuesday night, the 13th, for the parade I strongly suggest earplugs. It can get really loud since the parade doubles back on itself and you can have 5 floats blasting music in your area. The parade goes up and down Av Rafael E Melgar 2 times. Hope you both have a great time and keep up the great work!
