Considered one of the world's top diving destinations, Marine Park runs along the coast south of downtown and around Punta Sur at the southern tip of the island and features over 200 species of tropical fish.

Cozumel is renowned for its superior diving conditions but also features spectacular beaches. With miles of inviting beaches that range from developed to deserted, Cozumel provides an oasis for relaxation and fun. The west side of the island's beaches have calm waters and plenty of opportunity for activity; however, the east side of the island's beaches are deserted, buffeted by strong waves and powerful currents and extreme caution should be taken by those who venture into the waters. There are large theme park style beaches, such as Playa Mia, complete with swimming pools, showers, paddleboats, kayaking, jet skis, and much more. Other beaches, such as Playa Corona, are off the beaten path and provide an authentic local atmosphere. Some beaches, such as Chankanaab, are natural beaches with a lagoon. For a truly magical experience, one can escape to Isla Pasion, a private island that provides plenty of fun in the sun.
