The Palancar Reef system and Columbia Wall attract divers from around the world, though snorkelling trips cover shallower sections of the same reef. Ships use one of three piers: Punta Langosta puts you in downtown San Miguel, while the International Pier and Puerto Maya are further south and require a taxi ride into town. San Miguel's waterfront has the usual souvenir shops and jewellery stores, but a few blocks inland the town gets more local. Try cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork in achiote) at a market taquería rather than the tourist strip. The east side of the island has a rougher, more exposed coastline with beach bars and fewer crowds. Punta Sur Eco Park, at the southern tip, has a lighthouse, crocodile sanctuary, and a small Maya ruin. Renting a scooter or convertible lets you loop the island in a few hours. The peso is the currency, but dollars work everywhere. Bring reef-safe sunscreen if you're swimming. ## Your day in Cozumel Puerta Maya is about five kilometres south of San Miguel, so most passengers take a taxi into town. ### Map - **Cruise terminal**: Puerta Maya Cruise Center (Carnival), main cruise berth alongside the outer quay (20.47730, -86.97763) Walking times from the cruise terminal: Map data with the walking areas: [GeoJSON](https://cruisello.com/api/day-in-port/b28160e4-cd37-48c9-a36e-81c8ae128aee.geojson) ### What to see #### San Miguel de Cozumel Main plaza and seafront avenue with shops and restaurants.
