If you’re planning a trip to Cozumel, you want to visit the island’s most famous beach. But which of the island’s beaches are closest to downtown Cozumel? I’ll answer that question and more in this guide to the best beach near downtown Cozumel.
Playa Casitas is within walking distance of downtown Cozumel, making it the best option for beach lovers. This beach on the east side is almost always uncrowded and offers great snorkeling opportunities. You can also find lots of wonderful restaurants and bars on Playa Casitas, which makes it a popular spot for both tourists and locals.
Fish are a perfect addition to the family’s vacation. Swim out 50 yards from the north end of the beach and enjoy the fish-filled artificial reefs for snorkeling and scuba diving. Shore diving in Cozumel can be challenging because of the usual currents that we dive in year around. Diving from Playa las Casitas is no different, but for the adventurous diver, this shallow shore dive offers a fascinating combination of pier rubble, two unheard-of sunken ships, and healthy transplanted coral.
Stand-up paddleboards and windsurf boards are also available for rent.
It’s very quiet on weekdays, but it’s crowded on Sunday, the traditional day of family outings. You will also find a couple of fun and popular beach clubs (with restaurants and bars) here at Playa...

None of the locals at the restaurants or along the road were trying to get us to buy stuff. It is right next to the airport, so it was fun watching the...
Read moreExcelente playa, es muy bonita Lo único que le podría reprochar es que hay muchas piedras pero lo compenza con lo que hay alrededor de esta playa, esta la marina y tienen unos aviones afuera con los cuales te puedes tomar foto si gustas, al igual hay unas esculturas justo enfrente en las cuales con la luz indicada puedes tener unas increibles fotos!, ya un poquito mas adelante de puedes encontrar una Iglesia donde igual puedes tomar fotos increíbles. Si te da hambre tienes cerca un restaurant y a pocos metros igual un minisuper, ya para retirarse del lugar tienes muy cerca la opción de tomar taxis que por lo regular cobran $50. Por ultimo tienes el aeropuerto detras de la playa con lo que regularmente pasan los aviones muy cerca de la playa justo arriba de ti!, sin duda una experiencia única! Por algo tan barato. Yo recomendaria mucho esta playa por todo lo que tiene alrededor y sobre todo porque puedes tomar unas fotos increibles en este lugar, al igual es un lugar despejado puesto que puedes ver el atardecer sin ningun problema. Como recomendación llevar algo con lo que te puedas sentar por las piedras y algo con lo que te puedas tapar del sol ya que no tiene nada con que...
