Cozumel Maps: Orientation of the City - Cozumel, Mexico, MX
The town of San Miguel de Cozumel is easy to find your way around on foot and is the only town of the whole island. Within San Miguel, the scenic waterfront boulevard of the Avenida Rafael Melgar is a notable thoroughfare, while the main plaza can be found next to the actual ferry dock. Just over 2 km / 1.5 miles to the north of the town is Cozumel International Airport, next to the Caribbean Coast.

Many of the main beach resorts line the eastern side of Cozumel and include the Playa Bonita, the Playa de San Martin and the Playa El Mirador. This is a particularly lively part of Cozumel, although in most locations, the strong riptides can make swimming hazardous. On the north-easterly side of the island, Punta Molas can only be reached by 4WD vehicles and is known for its lighthouse, which is sited at the very tip of this small peninsula.
