walking distance from Carnival ship

[OhioScubaGirl]

We are planning to do an excursion in Cozumel and would like to add something for an hour or so before or after our excursion in Cozumel.  We will be cruising Carnival Paradise.  Is there anything interesting for kids within a 10-15 min walk?  I don't recall which place Carnival docks.  We aren't interested in shopping, but a pool, beach, sightseeing, or snorkeling could be fun.  We aren't looking for anything spectacular, just a quick fun add-on right by the ship.

You don’t say how long a time period you have or what type of excursion you are doing. 
 

No pool , beach or snorkeling in the immediate vicinity but there are possibilities depending on time and budget.

Last year we cruised with our two year old granddaughter and her mother didn't want to put her in a cab so we were limited to walking distance and ended up at Sunset Restaurant. They have an upper dining room at street level and outside tables and small beach area with entry into the ocean in back on a lower level. 

 

There is no charge, they just ask you make a purchase. We had snacks and drinks and lunch - reasonably priced and tasty, Not like a beach resort, but kind of the best option for walking to. We had a great day swimming, relaxing and enjoying the sun.

 

From where Carnival usually docks (puerta maya) it was about a 15 minute walk with lots of shops and things to look at along the way.

Grantbob - we have been going to Sunset for years. Great place to have a few beers and delicious Chicken Nachos. Getting in the water can be a little dicey depending on the wind but we always take a swim.
