The Back Side of The Island

Many times tourist stay in the populated, "touristy" areas. That is great, however there is so much more to see in Cozumel. If you want to see beautiful, natural beaches, don't just go to the beach clubs, head out for an adventure to the "back side" of the island. There are pristine beaches, wonderful scenery, beautiful coral cliffs and welcoming people to be found. There is no cell service and no electricity....what could be more perfect when you are trying to "get away from it all"? On the Melgar, head south. There you will pass numerous beach clubs. Once you pass Rasta's, you will begin to see the beautiful open ocean. We have stopped at many of the wonderful places there are to eat. We have never been disappointed. Our newest find it Miami Bar. It is one of the first places you will see after you pass Rasta's. The food is freshly made and delicious! They have fresh coconuts and they open them for you with their machete. Enjoy the fresh coconut water, or add an adult beverage made with fresh coconut water. Either way is delicious! They are also famous for their Mojitos. I have never had such a delicious Mojito! As you make your way south, there are plenty of places to stop, eat, drink and enjoy the view. At the very end is a place, Mezcalitos. They have a nice shady area with hammocks. It is a nice way to end your day! Make certain you have someone in your group as the designated driver. There is ZERO tolerance for drinking and driving. A Blood Alcohol level of .01 can get you arrested. You do not want to spend your vacay in a Cozumel jail!
