Opinions Please - Grand Caymen vs Cozumel

Hello. On the Liberty Charter cruise I am going on Sunday, we have Grand Caymen one day and then Cozumel the next. I am thinking that 2 beach days in a row might be too much for my pale white, freckled self. Do you have an opinion as to which is the better beach option and which island has other fun activities, like shopping that is within walking distance of the piers? Thank you so much.

There is far more to do in Coz.

Check out the POC boards for more information.

I prefer Grand Cayman to Cozumel. The snorkeling is superior and the beaches are nicer. Shopping is pricey, but also higher quality.

Cozumel is more like Spring Break year round.

The water is much nicer in GC IMO, but I still enjoy my beach days in Cozumel. There is shopping right in Port at Cozumel and we rented a jeep and did a self guided tour of the ruins in the area and drove around the island, it was wonderful. IN GC, we swam wiht the stingrays, a lot of fun, and I hear 7 mile beach is nice.

Please Don,t Get Fried. It Will Ruin Your Trip. Its So Easy To Do On The Beach. Evan With A Tan You Can Burn Real Good. Slather On The Sun Sun Screen An Enjoy!

There is shopping within walking distance of the piers in both ports, shopping is much cheaper in Cozumel. The Passion Island tour in Cozumel is really good, very nice beach, great food & open bar (all free)

Grand Cayman has the shopping right where the tenders dock, and 7 mile beach is also better than the beach in Cozumel I feel. Cozumel has better scuba but IMO Grand Cayman is a better island

I too perfer Cayman over Cozumel, all I have to say is Turtle Farm !!! I love those little guys.

I love Grand Cayman! You will probably get replies with both opinions, but I would go to the beach on Grand Cayman, and go shopping in Cozumel. There are some shops on Grand Cayman that have local products though, and those are the kind of things I look for. A couple of them are right in the shopping area at the end of the pier. It seemed to me that Cozumel is much larger, and has more or a "party" atmosphere. Grand Cayman is more laid-back and relaxing. And the water there is amazing!

Thank you all for your answers!

For a beach day, most definetely Grand Cayman. :)

The watery is bluer in GC. It's SO clear. I liked Cozumel better. But some deep sunscreen is a must. It felt like it was 40 degress hotter in Cozumel
