marjosagb Posted March 28, 2014 #1 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Have been to Cozumel once before, but never to the Puerta Maya port. We already have planned excursions in Belize & Roatan, and are considering just saving some $$ and staying at the port in Cozumel. I see that there are a bunch of shops at the port which is nice (extremely touristy no doubt), but I am wondering what else there might be to do there? I read somewhere that there is a small patch of sand with free lounge chairs / hammocks, but there were not many details on that... Also, has anyone walked to the shops downtown instead of taking a cab? About how long of a walk is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overthehillcruiser Posted March 28, 2014 #2 Share Posted March 28, 2014 There are indeed a bunch of shops at the pier. It is a short cab ride to town for better prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare crewsweeper Posted March 28, 2014 #3 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Long walk to downtown. About 4-5 miles. Taxi is about $7 for up to 4 people in a cab. $14 RT. All the larger places downtown have outlets at PM, including Cinco Soles and Panchos Backyard. There is a strip of sand there. Views are terrific jus the ship. Not sure I'd go in the water there. Don't recall loungers but you can bring a towel. No facilities for showers or anything. After shopping around and eating, not much else to do unless you're one of the party-hearty folks that like to hang at Fat Tuesday's or 3Amigos.

caribsun Posted March 28, 2014 #4 Share Posted March 28, 2014 (edited) There are chairs on the sandy section which is right in front of Pancho's Backyard restaurant. Edited March 28, 2014 by caribsun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maldenmusic Posted March 28, 2014 #6 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yes there are chairs and loungers at Puerta Maya pier and no charge to sit in them in the shade. The pictures are taken from there. I don't know if there is a way to get down to the water; it is pretty rocky there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOUSTONVIP Posted March 29, 2014 #7 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I shot a bunch of HD video at Puerta Maya, Let me see if I can throw it together and post it to youtube. There a bunch of shops right there and a little park area with a view of the ship. I'll post as soon as I can Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
