Not only does living in Cozumel mean enjoying its paradise beaches, its delicious gastronomy and the number of activities on offer (we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll get into that later), but it also means leading a life full of tranquility, peace of mind, relaxation and joy.<\/p>\n
Cozumel goes back a long way, with the Mayan civilization being the first to have settled in the island and it was worshiped as a place of fertility. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not get too deep into history, but basically this place is full of life. That is why today it thrives with natural beauty and survives on tourism. But there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a difference when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a weekend tourist in Cozumel and when you are a resident of the island.<\/p>\n
The short 30-minute ferry ride to Playa del Carmen allows you to explore the Riviera Maya in a blink of an eye; there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s no such thing as being trapped on the island. And even if you were, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d have plenty to do in this stress-free paradise.<\/p>\n
Things to do in Cozumel<\/strong><\/p>\n While as a resident you might not be engaging in every tourist-like activity, you are sure to take part in the many things to do while you are there. First and most importantly, enjoying the white-sand beach and crystal clear blue waters. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re living in Cozumel, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s probably due to the beach, so enjoy it! The island is surrounded by beautiful beaches to spend the day, and it even has it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own little island (Isla de la Pasi\u00c3\u00b3n) off the north coast.<\/p>\n So, what can you do in Cozumel? You can go snorkeling, scuba diving, fishing, strolling down the boulevard, shopping, eating, and going out. Cozumel thrives thanks to the second biggest reef barrier in the world: the Mesoamerican Reef. This provides the most amazing underwater life, including their endemic splendid toadfish, which can only be found in its waters.<\/p>\n You can also visit the beautiful waters of El Cielo, named \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Heaven\u00e2\u20ac\u009d because of the huge amount of starfish you can find in the area. There are plenty of things to discover every weekend when you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re living in Cozumel. Oh, and don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t forget their fun beach adventure park, Chankanaab, within the National Marine Park.<\/p>\n Additionally, there are Mayan ruins, beach clubs, a handful of endemic animals (birds, mammals, fish and the resident reptiles), a beautiful jungle, and lovely people. Let\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s not forget the gastronomy, though! Yucatan cuisine is delicious, and Cozumel refuses to be left behind. Stay away from the tourist area where you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll find Hard Rock Caf\u00c3\u00a9 and Carlos & Charlie\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a resident now, go inland and find those delicious small restaurants with amazing homemade food.<\/p>\n Properties in Cozumel<\/strong><\/p>\n So, have I convinced you to make the big move to this gorgeous paradise island?
