Cozumel weather in February

Cozumel weather in january is very different from most of North America. Is January a good time to go to cozumel? Four years ago I came on the Enchantment of the season cruise and got off to stay in cozumel for an extra 3 weeks. Now I will share my experience on weather and the best things to do in Cozumel during your vacation.

While the majority of North America and Europe is freezing we get to focus on your tropical getaway. So, what is the weather like in Cozumel in January? It’s beautiful but if you haven’t planned your vacation yet be sure to read my article that covers Cozumel weather month-by-month. Let’s dive into the details you came for.

Is February a good time to go to cozumel?

February is an excellent time to go to Cozumel, and what I would call the sweet spot. February is near the beginning of what’s known as “peak” season which is when most travelers head south to the Caribbean for sunshine.

 

Cozumel’s temps in January hover comfortably around 82 degrees during the day meaning you can enjoy the best Cozumel beach clubs comfortably. If you hate sweating through their clothes this is a great time for you to come. It’s the dry season, which means the air is crisp. It only rains 4-5 days a month here but you have to be prepared for the “Norte” effects.

I spend most of my days in a t-shirt and shorts. Every now and then, a cold front from the north “Norte” sweeps in. It won’t make you freeze, but it can make the boat rides choppy and the evenings surprisingly brisk. When this happens cruise ships can’t dock meaning no port call for you and if you booked a tour on Viator.com or another large company say goodbye to your money.

 

For those of you who booked any of our Cozumel Jet ski Rentals in advance your 20% deposit is safe. Unlike Viator, we don’t have restrictions forcing you to cancel 24 hours in advance. Bad weather happens. Hangovers happen especially during this time of year so we make sure you are covered.

When the sun goes down, it hits about 70°F. If you’re sitting at a place like the Thirsty Cougar or Money bars live karaoke because you’re above the legal drinking age in Cozumel that ocean breeze might catch you off guard after a day in the sun. Trust me, bring a light hoodie or a denim jacket. You’ll see the tourists who didn’t pack one shivering over their margaritas while the locals are all wearing light sweaters.

 

Is it too cold to swim in Cozumel in February?

Yes, the water is warm enough for swimming but it might take you a second to jump in. The water sits around 79°F. It’s not “bath water” warm like Cozumel weather in August, but it’s crystal clear. The highlight of February for me is the Eagle Rays. I joined an El Cielo Snorkeling tour to shoot some content for the website and saw four of them gliding right under me. See the epic photo below.

They migrate here during the winter months, and because the water visibility is at its peak (often 100ft+), you can see them from a mile away. But you can NOT see them from shore. You have to take one of our Cozumel snorkeling tours. We have 1 or 3 hour tours that include food, multiple coral reefs and the chance to get up close and personal with them!

 

If you’re doing a snorkeling tour to El Cielo, the water is shallow and stays warm, but the boat ride back can be cold when you’re wet and the wind is hitting you. So be sure to bring the towel from my packing list below and have a dry change of clothes. If you’re worried about forgetting something or just want the best vacation possible you have to read my blog about the 11 things tourists should avoid while in Cozumel.

What to wear in February

When I started visiting Cozumel I always overpacked. Now I know the trick to a Caribbean vacation is layers. Don’t pack anything heavy. Opt for polyester over cotton and no dark colors. Cruise passengers won’t need a hoodie but if you’re staying in a resort or Airbnb it’s essential for a multi-day vacation.

Notice how no bloody is wearing hoodies, which I usually the case. But ok the off chance you get the cold draft you will wish you had the sweater. It’s always bring multiple swimming suits and invest in a good pair of sunglasses.  Here are a few other things you should not forget:

Daytime Essentials

• Swimwear (multiple)
• Light cotton t-shirts
• flip-flops
• Thin long sleeve (optional)

Sun Protection: Sunglasses are a must so invest in a good pair, and SPF 50 sunscreen.

Nighttime Essentials

• Comfy: light sweater or cardigan
• Formal Layer: Thicker button-down shirt

 

Remember, the nights can get breezy but not always. It’s always better to have layers and not need them and be chilly. If you’re staying in town it will be much warmer than a romantic dinner by the water.

 

 

Cozumel crowds in February

February is a very busy month in Cozumel. It’s the peak of “Snowbird” season, and more importantly, it’s Carnival. I love Carnival, the parades on Melgar Avenue are a nice change of pace and they setup a local fair with rides and games, but that means the town is packed.

During the peak season (Jan – Mar) island excursions fill up fast and there are tons of people so I HiGHLY recommend you book tours and activities MINIMUM 7-days in advance to secure a spot. For perspective each day we turn away between 5 -30 people who walk up and want to try Cozumel Parasailing because they see other people flying and get FOMO.

Or, they thought they would get a better deal paying cash in person but the reality is there are more people then we have flights. We have a limited number of flights each day because of boat traffic (as you can see above) and priority goes to customers who reserve a time online.

I shot this photo and it was crazy but cool looking and I think it shows perfectly how busy it gets here. Smooth vacations don’t just happen, they come from research and planning things out. Well at least you can reserve a tour with us knowing your money will be returned if plans change.

 

If you’re trying to get a taxi or a table at a popular spot, give yourself an extra 30 minutes. If you want a more quiet experience, I usually head to the East side (the “Wild Side”) to places like Chen Rio, or coconuts. You will need a rental car or know how to catch a taxi in Cozumel. There are no crowds, just waves and peace on the east side and the southern tip of Cozumel.

 

Top Cozumel Activities in February

Ok, we got the weather stuff out of the way, now let’s talk about the best activities to do while you’re here. Since it’s the dry season I recommend anything outside and in the sun.

 

ATV Jungle Tour

Cost $75 person

Why now: The jungle isn’t a mud pit right now, and it’s cool enough that you won’t overheat in a helmet.

Personally I loved it because it was adventure and excitement before I spent the day on the beach. It was a 90 minute tour that 8 of us did and was a blast! Everyone on my tour opted for the Cenote experience (which was additional $15) and that was super cool. I did this last month and the cenote water was refreshing after the dusty trails.

We stayed here for some cool pictures and headed back to the beach club where we spent the rest of our day at the beach and drinking margaritas! The chairs and amenities are all included when you book so that was cool.

Note: Jade Cavern charges $15 extra and wasn’t included in our ATV tour. So expect $75 + $15 if you want to go.

 

Punta Sur Ecological Park

Cost: $16 person

My first tip, go early. I suggest trying to get there right when they open at 9:00 AM to beat the cruise ship buses. They come in droves. The view from the lighthouse is the best on the island.

I didn’t pay to climb the Celarain Lighthouse, but you can definitely see the entire coast! But the real magic is spotting the wildlife. You can stop off before you get there as walk out onto a spotting deck to see huge crocodiles in the Columbia Lagoon.

 

Punta Sur was a really cool experience. There isn’t a whole lot to the tower it’s mainly a beach and Eco Park so don’t have super high expectations.

 

Jet Skiing

Do this on a day when the winds are low. Even if you only book a 30 minute jet ski it’s fun to splash around (or let the kids burn energy) on our new seadoos in front of the beach club. If you’re looking for something a little longer or maybe a guided excursion, book a snorkel + jet ski tour. It’s 90-minutes and packs two activities in one.

You get your own jet ski and get to whip around to a secluded spot where everyone gets to pull the jetski up onto the beach, whip our the snorkel gear and play at your own speed. Take pictures, snack and swim for half an hour before heading back for a 20 minute jet ski ride around the island.

Legal Drinking Age in Cozumel, Mexico

If you’re on a international cruise coming to Cozumel or here for a week-long vacation you may be wondering what is the legal drinking age in Cozumel mexico? But what about when your on the cruise ship, or even in the port?

The legal drinking age rules for cruise ship passengers can be confusing and vary depending on location. I will clarify this and give you tips on the the best places to get alcohol in Cozumel.

 

What is the legal drinking age in Cozumel?

The legal drinking age in Cozumel, Mexico, is 18 years old. This is a nationwide law that applies across all Mexican states. So, if you are 18 or older, you are legally able to purchase and consume alcohol on the island doesn’t matter where it’s at beach club, resort, bar night club or cruise you can drink! This is one of the most frequent surprises for visitors from the United States, where the age is 21.

 

Legal Drinking Age On a Cruise ship

This is where it gets confusing. Princess, Disney and Royal Caribbean cruise lines all have different policies regarding the age limit to drink alcohol. The general rule is while sailing on international waters the legal drink age on a cruise ship is 18 years old.

When a ship is within 3 miles of a country it is technically in the countries border and must abide by the countries laws.

Royal Caribbeans officially drinking policy is that no matter where the ship is you must be 21 as quoted below “the minimum drinking age for all alcoholic beverages on all Royal Caribbean International is 21 no matter where the cruise originated from. You can view their policy here. This means even if you are docked in Cozumel they will not serve you alcohol if you 18.

 

Cruise Ship Legal Drinking Age Summary

If you are on an international cruise, this is the most important section. You have two sets of rules to follow, and they are different:

• On the Ship: The cruise line’s policy applies (usually 21). You cannot drink on board, even when docked in Cozumel, if you are under their policy age.
• On the Island: Mexican law applies (18). The moment you step off the gangway and onto the pier, you can legally drink if you are 18 or older.

 

It depends on what cruise ships policy. Mexico is notorious for having relaxed laws for drinking alcohol and doesn’t really enforce the laws strictly. If your on vacation they care more about making that all mighty US dollar so they will serve you.

As far as Cozumel goes you will have free rain on alcohol, cigarettes and many over the counter medicines as long as you are 18 years old.

Common Cruise Passenger FAQ’s

I’m 19 and my cruise is 21. Can I drink in Cozumel?

Yes, absolutely. You are 100% legal to drink ONLY in Cozumel. You can purchase alcohol, and visit bars once you are on the island, regardless of your ship’s policy.

What ID should I bring ashore?

Pro-Tip for Cruise Travelers: Many tourists prefer to carry a driver’s license and leave their passport locked safely on the ship. While your license is usually accepted, always have a clear photo of your passport on your phone as a backup, just in case a bar or store insists on it.

Will the ship stop me from boarding if I have alcohol?

The ship is only concerned with alcohol being brought on board for consumption (open). If you purchase a bottle of tequila, they will tag it and hold it until your final disembarkation day. They will not stop you from boarding if you are sober and following their rules.

 

Do I need To Carry a ID to drink?

While the legal age is 18, if you want hassle free fun just take your ID. Now if your staying in a resort it’s very unlikely you will need a ID. Maybe the 1st time, but after that just keep going to the same bartender. The will definitely card you at stores and maybe the bar they are pretty strict. especially if you look under 25.

Always carry a valid, government-issued photo ID. For travelers, this means your passport or a driver’s license. Don’t rely on photocopies, as they may not be accepted in all places.

Top Spots for Drinks in Cozumel

Below is my personal recommendations for places to grab a drink that are guaranteed not to disappoint! When the Cozumel sun sets, the island’s nightlife comes alive especially at Wet Wendys!

These top-rated Cozumel bars and drinking destinations are must-visits after a day of jet skiing or snorkeling with us.

Wet Wendy’s Bar & Grill

Wet Wendys is a popular spot for tourists during the day but at night time is mainly the place for long-term vacationers. I would compare it’s night time atmosphere to your favorite popular tavern. It’s cool, very American music and drink prices are reasonable being $8-$15 depending on what you order.

Wet Wendy’s is famous for serving up huge, diverse frozen margaritas, including unique flavors and generous pours. It’s an energetic spot right in the heart of downtown.

 

Sunset Cozumel

As the name suggests, this is one of the best locations for a romantic drink. I also wrote about it in the free things to do in cozumel. Sunset Cozumel has incredible ocean views and specializes in their signature sunset margaritas and refreshing, seasonal fresh fruit infusions. Plus it offers swimming!

 

Thirsty Cougar

When your here you absolutely have to experience a super popular place called the Thirsty Cougar Bar. With over 765 verified reviews on Trip Advisor you can’t go wrong. They have great food, are located right on the main strip near the ocean and have good music. What’s really cool is that your sitting right on the main road and get to people watch and take in the culture which is very relaxing.

But, the main reason I went there EVERY NIGHT was for the alcoholic deserts. This things is just delicious with a little buzz. They have lots of alcohol flavor choices but I found this one to be my personal favorite and it only costs $9!

 

Destileria Cozumel

For a taste of authentic local spirits, Destileria Cozumel is a unique stop. This distillery bar offers authentic rum, gin, and local spirit flights, giving you a deeper appreciation for the high-quality liquors produced in the region. It’s a great educational and tasting experience for cocktail enthusiasts.

 

Buccanos

Buccanos is an upscale experience away from the main strip, perfect for those seeking sophisticated drinks. They give a adults only vibe but are completely kid friendly. Nice eating area They are known for their unique cocktails like refreshing cucumber mojitos and elegant tamarind martinis. Come for the drinks, stay for the stunning beachfront ambiance.

 

Money Bar

Located just south of town, the Money Bar is a popular daytime and happy hour destination. Known for its accessibility from the water (it’s a great snorkel spot!), it also offers strong drinks and fantastic happy hour specials. It’s a relaxed, beach-front vibe where you can enjoy a drink with your feet almost in the sand.

Enforcement in Cozumel vs. Mexico

The law is the same whether you’re asking about the drinking age in Cozumel Mexico or any other major destination in the country. Local police and enforcement tend to focus more on tourists behavior than on age verification (as long as you’re 18+).

The biggest issues tourists run into involve public consumption and driving under the influence, which leads me to the rules everyone needs to know.

 

Where to Buy Alcohol in Cozumel (And When You Can)

When you want to grab a bottle of tequila or a few local beers to enjoy at your accommodation, you have a few options:

Supermarkets

Major stores like Chedraui and Mega are great places to stock up. Prices here are the cheapest your gonna find ANYWHERE. You will also get the biggest selection of alcohol because of their size. I personally prefer Mega over Chedraui but they are gonna be comparable price wise.

Mega carry hard liquor, beer, wine coolers and traditional wine. They have some pretty unique flavors and style of alcohol here too. Not to mention it’s honest a cool experience I cover in my free things to do in Cozumel article which is a great 5 minute read.

 

Small Convience stores

This Oxxo was down the street from my villa. We shopped here many times for ods and ends. They have beer and two wine options and 8 tequila options to choose from. Prices arent as cheap as the supermarket but still super reasonable especially for the local tequila.

 

However, be aware of the Ley Seca (Dry Law) on sales. While bars can serve until late, retail stores have specific hours for alcohol sales, typically closing at 9:00 p.m. on weekdays and sometimes earlier on Sundays (5:00 p.m.). Plan ahead!

Do Not Drink in Public and Never Drive Pro Tip

 

Cozumels Worlds Best Mojito

This place I stopped at during a taxi can private tour we booked through ******. About 1/2 through our trip the guide bright us here, I had never heard of it. Well, I learned quickly these are the works Best Mojitos. It takes them about 10 minutes to make each one 100% free from scratches with a incredible account of love!

 

Drinking in Cozumel conclusion

I’ve been here for a while, and the best advice I can give any traveler who asks what is the drinking age in Cozumel is to know the law beyond your ID and follow these two very simple rules:

1. No Drinking in Public

This is non-negotiable. It is against the law to walk down the street, sit on a park bench, or hang out in the main square with an open alcoholic beverage. If you buy a beer, keep it sealed until you are at your hotel, a beach club, or a private residence.

2. Never Drink and Drive

We have plenty of affordable taxis available everywhere. The police take impaired driving very seriously. A taxi or Uber (if available) is always worth the cost compared to the legal hassle, fines, or worst-case scenarios. Stay safe and stick to designated drivers or local transport.

Enjoy the freedom and the great drinks our island offers, but always do so responsibly!

 

What’s next

You’ve handled the research—now for the adventure! I run Jet Ski Cozumel, offering the best jet ski, snorkel, parasailing, and scuba diving tours on the island. Come build some unforgettable daytime memories with us before you enjoy the island’s nightlife. Let’s get you booked for an epic tour!

VIEW OUR COZUMEL EXCURSIONS

 

I’m gonna be honest with you, there aren’t many free things to do in the cozumel but there are a some! In this blog I layout the free, fun and inexpensive ways to explore Cozumel on a budget. These recommendations are great for cruise passengers, elderly couples or families.

Cruise vacations can get expensive when your trying to create memories at every port call and especially if Cozumel is the last stop in your itinerary. So finding free things to do near the cozumel Cruise port is essential and I have some!

Cozumels cruise ports are friendly and walkable. You will find tons of shops to pick up the common souvenirs and places to get a really good Mexican food. The truth remains the same your limited.

ONLY free ways to explore Cozumel:

• Swimming
• Walking
• Eating

I know the last one isn’t free but you will see what we have to work with soon enough. Don’t give up because right outside your port is stuff to do in addition to this list of 11 things to avoid doing in Cozumel.

As soon as you walk out of the port onto the public street turn left and walk about 2ish miles (or take a $10 taxi) to downtown. That’s where the cool stuff is.

Everything around the port will cost and that’s where they trap you into spending your hard earned money. In case your wondering yes, it is safe to walk around even with the cozumel travel advisory. The immediate area outside “port area” is often considered barely local. So you have to go further for more authentic vibes.

Let’s dive into visiting Cozumel on a budget!

 

Cozumel FREE  Things To Do

These are my best tips for American travelers. Skip the junk trinkets and try these no cost adventures without constantly pulling out your wallet.

 

Swim at a Public Beach

Cost: Free

Forget the massive, pricey beach clubs. You can experience the clear blue water for free, if you know where to look. Don’t assume all beaches are free because they are not.  Take a dip, read a book or lay down a towel and relax without workers pestering you.

Playa Casitas is the best beach for cruise passengers because it’s about 3 miles from the Cozumel cruise ports and a simple 8 minute taxi ride. $20 will cover up to 4 people. It’s not your traditional because in the sense there isn’t soft white sand, it is pretty rocky but it’s a beach. Here you can find shade, grass and access to beautiful blue water completely free.

Cozumel has miles of coastline that’s controlled by private beach clubs but I recently updated this list of the public beaches in Cozumel that let you swim and relax without a cover charge. Grab your towel and head straight for the water.

Above is a picture of San Francisco beach. But it doesn’t beat my personal favorite which is Playa Martin.Its not ideal  Me and the girlfriend rented scooters and took a trip over there to just get away from the traffic. On the scooter it took us about 15 minutes to get there but the ride was cool. We got to see other parts of the city.

San Martin Beach has a perfect, relaxed vibe, and the water is exactly that clear, turquoise color you came for. The best part is that you don’t need a day pass pass to enjoy it. It was cloudy the day we went to be sure to choose a sunny day!

Don’t worry about eating because of you get hungry or need to use the bathroom during your beach picnic there is a place to eat just down the road. It’s where I took the picture of the group on scooters below. But if your traveling to San Martin your likely staying in Cozumel for more than a day and I have a great recommendation for you.

A fun & beautiful little place to stay

For experienced divers and travelers who value peace over “resort chaos,” Stingray Villa is the premier choice in downtown Cozumel. Unlike massive all-inclusives, this boutique guest house offers four private, quiet suites designed for adults who prioritize comfort, strong water pressure, and a strategic location near the piers.

Before I talk about walking in Cozumel I have to suggest them because they are perfectly located in the heart of San miguel. Near the island’s best dive shops and local eateries.

Pro Tip: Save up to 30% by booking directly through their site. Stingray Villa provides a unmatched small intimate feeling. Just check their reviews. As a bonus you get 10% off our activities!

 

Walking Downtown

Cost: Free

The area around the ferry terminal is technically San Miguel de Cozumel, and it’s where all the action is. Don’t rush past it. Take some time and simply walk around down here. This is roughly 2ish miles from the cruise port and you can walk there. I recommend bringing water if it’s a hot day.

There are private tours that make this a core theme of the tour. Even the Razor tours drive down through downtown.

There is local food and also Americanized places to eat like Burger King and, Buffalo wild Wings. Sometimes they host concerts and events in the middle. When I was here I hung up my hammock and just watched the locals and had my fair share of ice cream from the local gelato shop.

Stroll along El Malecón (the broad waterfront sidewalk), watch the cruise ships come and go, and check out the statues in the main square. This is where you get a real feel for local life once the day-trippers head back to the mainland on their playa del Carmen to Cozumel day trip. If you want to do a little shopping this is the place.

It’s can get a little annoying with all of the locals trying to pull you into their shops or sell you something. But a simple “no thank you” usually gets the job done. Downtown (Cozumel Centro) is actually a comfortable distance away from the cruise ports so you will find different kinds of souvenirs here that you won’t find in the port.

 

Mega Grocery Store

Cost: Free

This might sounds strange but hear me out. If the goal is to experience Cozumel you must do this. Each time I stayed in Cozumel at a Airbnb we had to shop for food and it turned into a very enlightening experience. You get to see different varieties of food you would never see. I found it fun seeing variations of food we don’t have here and also one we do!

The way the Mexican culture hands food is pretty interesting. They don’t cover the meat up and eggs air sit on shelves unrefrigerated. As a bonus of you need something this is the cheapest place to pick stuff up. They take cash or credit and if you need to use the ATM this is a great reason to come besides you can save money buying alcohol here too!

Whole your here take the opportunity to get cash from the ATM. As you can see there are multiple banks to choose from bit it doesn’t matter. Just make sure to always DECLINE the conversion rate. It will adopt the banks inflated conversion rate instead of Mexican countries rate.

 

Mercado Municipal Market

Cost: Free

I discovered this local market on accident by wandering further outside of downtown. Similar to the flea market in the way it’s open to the public but very different. It’s located probably 7 blocks behind the Cozumel Centro plaza. Here you can experience where the locals shop and eat.

You can’t see it from this photo but there are 8-10 places to grab local food and it’s open to the public. I didn’t see any tourist here but about 70 locals roamed about shopping for fresh fruit and fish. We had eaten before find this or I would’ve have happily bought food because it smelled great (when I didn’t smell the freshly caught fish).

I tried a pineapple and it’s was the most incredible flavor ever. To this day I refuse to eat pineapples out of the can. I will only buy it fresh. The guy here taught me how to smell the pineapple and know when one is ready to be eaten.

They also have shopping areas for you to pickup different kinds of souvenirs (different from the common junk trinkets near the port). Unique style stuff. I forgot what I bought but I was happy. So try shopping here and explore.

 

Explore Local Street Food

Cost: Free

Okay, this one is almost free. You get the experience for free, but it will be hard not to buy something! This kinda of food you want to eat FRESH so make sure you didn’t eat anything and don’t try to save it for later. Street vendors don’t accept card so bring cash.

Wander away from the main tourist streets and find where the locals eat. The smells of fresh cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork) and grilling corn on the cob are incredible. Stop, watch them make the tacos, soak up the atmosphere, and if you do decide to spend a dollar or two, you’ll get the best, most authentic meal of your trip.

 

Snorkel From Shore

Cost: Free

If your looking to peak under the water and see the bright fishes you can do that WITHOUT paying. They are everywhere, just bring your own gear. If you didn’t bring it you can always buy some at the local grocery store. Did you know some of the best coral formations are right off the public shorelines?

 

If you bring your own mask and fins, and you can jump right in. I recommend water shoes because most of the beaches are rocky. The water visibility in Cozumel is insane, even near the beach. I took this photo with my drone at money bar beach. i explain how to get there in my blog below covering best places to snorkel.

Pro Tip: For spots that offer the best free snorkeling, you’ll want to check out the more south-facing public beaches Playa Palancar. These are the best you’ll get.

The reefs start closer to shore in certain areas. I share the details for the best beach to snorkel for free in cozumel as a good opportunity for you to see the marine life.

 

Fun & Cheap Things to Do in Cozumel (Under $20)

Ok that list was shorter than you expected huh… I told you, there aren’t many! Now if your looking for other inexpensive things to do in Cozumel keep reading. These are just a couple things from my full article covering the most popular things to do in cozumel. This article has the popular tours and what most tourists recommend on Reddit blogs and facebooks groups besides our Parasailing and jet skis.

It’s time to experience some of the island’s best activities without shelling out major cash. These are high-value, low-cost activities that give you a huge bang for your buck .

 

Visit Sunset Bar

Price: Cheap

If your looking for a experience this place is a popular spot between Puerta Maya cruise port and downtown. They are well known for the good vibes and happy hour between 1-3pm and 7-8pm. It’s a beachfront bar & Grill that also has access point you can use to jump into the ocean. There is a shaded upper and lower portion where you can enjoy good food peacefully. It doesn’t get crazy busy and the staff aren’t pushy.

They have a beach area you can use if you bring your own snorkel gear. It is rocky you you must bring/ buy water shoes but that’s why I suggested Megas grocery store above! Sunset is know for good vibes and food.

 

Explore The Island on a Scooter

Price: $25 $19 (w/discount)

This is my personal favorite way to explore the island. Well anywhere I go to be honest. Scooters are cheap, easy to park, give you a sense of freedom instead of being cooped up in a car. You can rent a scooter for a full day (24 hours) $25.

You will see tons of Cozumel travel blogs warning you not to rent a scooter and I completely disagree. It’s probably top 3 ways to see cozumel. I have rented from a wonderful and honest guy named Carlos everytime I visit. These mopeds are well taken care of and newer. Here we are below on my last trip.

As a way to continue providing value he has agreed to allow me to offer my blog visitors a small discount. For a discount all you have to do is mention Jet Ski Cozumel and you will save 15%.

 

Literally, that’s it. He has offered to take it off your rental cost on a scooter or jeep. It’s that easy. Parking in cozumel is free and always available (unless your renting a car)

See The Crocodiles at Punta Sur

Price: $ 16

While the full admission to Punta Sur Ecological Park is $16, you can often find local tour operators that offer a specific stop-off to see the alligator viewing area for a very low cost, or even just view them along the main highway if you know where to look. It’s a quick, exciting glimpse into the island’s wild side.

 

Visit the Cozumel Museum

Price: $11

If you hit a rainy patch or just need a break from the sun, the local museum is a fantastic, cheap escape. We did it, it was quite, barely anyone there. It would be cool for a family but not so much for us.

The entrance fee is minimal, and you get a great overview of the island’s history, Mayan heritage, and marine life. It’s a great way to deepen your appreciation for Cozumel.

I hope this helps you plan an amazing trip without emptying your pockets!

Is December a good time to go to cozumel?

December is considered a great time to visit Cozumel because of the high temps and dry weather. The month of December is the start of dry season immediately following the cozumel hurricane season. In Cozumel, December is winter, but there’s no cold, chilly weather. That’s what makes this month the start of peak travel season.

The island holds a steady tropical climate, making it a fantastic choice for a winter escape. During the day, temperatures soar to around 83°F, creating the perfect setting for bumming at one of the cozumel beach clubs and exploring the city streets of Cozumel.

Cozumel is not rainy in the month of December. Rainfall is scarce that for sure, but storms do pass through every now and then. Good news is the move through quickly (30 min – 1hr). Then the skies open back up to sunshine. It rains maybe 6 days a month in Cozumel mexico during December.

December in Cozumel truly is a great time the essence of a perfect vacation.

 

Is it warm enough to swim in December

These water in Cozumel is beautifully warm and the water visibility is excellent for scuba diving or snorkeling. Water Caribbean isn’t like other places, the water temps in cozumel and adding the equator average 77°F to 80°F (25-27°C).

 

Read:  What not to do in cozumel in 2026

 

Yes, the water is almost the same temperature as the air! Sometimes with the north winds it can feel a little cooler when your wet and you feel the wind, but it’s very comfortable for water activities.

You can walk into the water without a hint of cold shock because it’s very warm and inviting. The average water temps are 71 degrees in December.

We went out on a snorkeling tour with a group of 12 other people. We spent the entire time in the water stopping at two reefs before anchoring at place where we got to see sting rays!

As your can see above the water is incredibly clear and comfy. The captain and instructor prepared fresh pico while we swam with insanely bright colored wish. My girlfriend even got scared they came so close!

The water temperature is just right, which means it’s absolutely perfect for swimming at a Cozumel beach club or booking a all inclusive snorkeling tour to El Cielo. You can expect to see Eagle rays because they migrate at this time. I highly recommend this snorkel tour for everyone. Couples and families, just click the image below.

 

What to wear in December

 

The trick to packing for a trip to cozumel in December is to thin layers. I’m from the north so it always feels like spring to me, but if your from down south it with feel chilly. I focus on packing light layers for warm days and breezy nights. This is the exact list I packed myself

Daytime Essentials

• Swimwear (multiple)
• Light cotton t-shirts
• flip-flops 
• Thin long sleeve

Sun Protection: Sunglasses are a must so interest in a good pair, and SPF 50 sunscreen.

Nighttime Essentials

• Comfy: light sweater or cardigan
• Formal Layer: Thicker button-down shirt

Remember, he nights can get breezy but it’s not for sure. It’s always better to have layers and not need them and be chilly. If your reading in town it will be much warmer than a romantic dinner by the water.

 

Crowds in December

This is considered the official start of peak season, meaning more crowds and higher prices, especially around the holidays. The high prices don’t stop people from booking their trips in anything more people come!

Cozumel can get up to 7 cruise ships in one day, which means close to 40,000 people from ships alone. The island is festive, decorated for Christmas, with cultural events. I suggest you bring a light sweater for potentially breezy evenings or cooler ‘Norte’ winds that aren’t always the case but can happen.

 

Top Activities in December

• Snorkeling (popular)

• Punta Sur Eco Park

• Scuba diving

• Jade Cavern ATV tour (our best seller)

With December being the peak months you can expect cozumel tours and excursions to be booked. Prices will be higher with less negotiating power. Don’t think you will be able to simply book a jet ski tour on the same day.

The the water is a dream come true in December. It’s an excellent time for snorkeling, swimming. Expect crystal-clear waters and calm seas, providing impeccable underwater visibility for an unforgettable aquatic adventure.

Punta Sur Eco Park

Cost: $16 person

When people ask me for the one thing they absolutely must do on the island, I always tell them to visit Punta Sur Eco Beach Park. Honestly, there’s no better way to escape the cruise ship crowds than heading down to the southernmost tip of Cozumel. There are great places to take beautiful photos like this. She wouldn’t let me leave until we got the perfect pic on this swing

I didn’t pay to climb the Celarain Lighthouse, but you can definitely see the entire coast! But the real magic is spotting the wildlife. You can stop off before you get there as walkout onto a spotting deck to see huge crocodiles in the Columbia Lagoon.

Punta Sur was a really cool experience. There isn’t a whole lot to the tower it’s mainly a beach and Eco Park so don’t have super high expectations.

 

Jade Cavern ATV Jungle Tour

Price: $75

With the sun rising around 7:07 AM and setting at 6:06 PM, Cozumel gifts you approx 11 hours of sunshine each day. Whether you’re an early riser or prefer sunset strolls, there’s lots of time to explore. For travelers who want to see the island in a unique way and this time of year is perfect for a four wheeler excursion tour that stops at the Jade Cavern Cenote.

Our tour started at the beach club and headed down the city streets and Into the back woods. I was surprised Cozumel had a jungle, I thought it was all beaches! Abut 30 minutes through the ride we arrived at the cenote and got to see the bats. The stairs walking down gave a really cool experience.

We stayed here for some cool pictures and headed back to the beach club where we spent the rest of our day at the beach and drinking margaritas! The chairs and amenities are all included when you book so that was cool.

Note: Jade Cavern charges $15 extra and wasn’t included in our ATV tour. So expect $75 + $15 if you want to go.
