Cozumel

Mexican Caribbean resort island

Cozumel is a Mexican island in the Caribbean Sea off the eastern coast of the Yucatán Peninsula.

It's a popular cruise ship destination and diving spot, known for its coral reefs: We spent three days in Cozumel.

The island's name comes from Mayan words meaning "land of the swallows."
