Hi,

You will find specific Cozumel port info on the port of call board for that city . Here is a link:

You can find other port info there too.

Which port is your ship docking at?

Any info on taking a taxi or mini bus from the ship to the beach... Easy! Cab line near each pier - there are 3 on Coz, so be sure you go back to the correct pier. A board will post the cab rates to most popular tourist spots/beaches. It never hurts to confirm the fare BEFORE you get into the cab

 

how long is the ride from port to the beach10-20 minutes, depending upon which beach you choose

 

which beach is best, Depends upon what you want and who is travelling? Honeymoon 20 somethings? Travelling with toddlers? Party atmosphere? Quiet and relaxing? All-inclusive?

 

Cost to go on the beach, rental cost for chair/umbrella Free to $50+ each, depending upon which beach and if unlimited food/drinks are included

 

Thanks.

Paradise Beach, Mr. Sanchos, Playa Mia, Nachi Cocom, Money Bar, and a few others are the most often suggested beaches on this board. Do some home work and give this board some more info on what you want. ;)

We are just looking to sit on a nice beach, with lounge chairs and shade and go in the water for a few hours. Do not want all inclusive package. Is there a beach we could walk to. Do not know yet which port we will be docking at. Will be on Carnival Paradise on November 7 sailing. Thanks.

Paradise docks at Puerta Maya. There's a small, no facilities beach at the port. But I wouldn't swim in the water there. Best top head for one of the beaches John mentioned. Taxis are zoned and rates are fixed. This site will show you the port, port schedule and taxi rates.

Paradise Beach if you want to stroll along the shore (taxi about $17 each way) or Money Bar (taxi about $10 each way) if you are happy to just swim and look at the water - no beach at the Money Bar, but the water is clear and the snorkeling is good! :cool:
