What it's like
San Miguel is the town where Cozumel's shops and restaurants are, and where daily life still moves at an island pace.
The main square anchors the center, with restaurants and palapas around it and shops nearby. Punta Langosta opens onto the waterfront.
Good to know
- Touts near the docks push car rentals, activities and timeshares. Take your time choosing.
Downtown San Miguel
Downtown San Miguel is the town center of Cozumel, with a main square, shops, and restaurants around it. It is the island's main town, and most of what visitors come for sits within a short walk.
