DGNewton Posted May 22, 2022 #1 Share Posted May 22, 2022 We're headed out on the Mardi Gras next week. How's the sargassum seaweed beach condition at each for these ports (Cozumel, Costa Maya, and Rotan)? In March/April the government of Mexico said there were installing barriers and cleaning up, but would rather hear from experienced cruisers.

Guest BasicSailor Posted May 22, 2022 #2 Share Posted May 22, 2022 Noticed it in Costa Maya more so than the other ports. Like your information where they were installing barriers and cleaning up. But this info is pre-covid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think right now is the season the seaweed is its worst, but I'm not positive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beffiebear Posted May 23, 2022 #4 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I was in Costa Maya last Tuesday - it was awful. terrible. Beaches totally unusable. We tried to go to the beach, but just headed back to the ship. Cozumel was fine; we saw it in the water, but apparently the current push it off the west-facing beaches and over to Cancun. No issues at all in Roatan - the beaches there were spectacular! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firefly333 Posted May 23, 2022 #5 Share Posted May 23, 2022 It was terrible my may 13 grandeur cruise. May 18 winds picked up and both ports were actually a lot better. Storm and winds blowing it out to sea maybe. I was in cozumel with breeze and I think vista 2 days ago. Dark clouds and stormy looking but didnt rain much. We were next to breeze. Couldnt read the name 2 ships over, bigger ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
