1. Buccanos Beach Club 🌿

This place is a mood. Think soft coastal colors, white stone walls, elegant tropical decor, and some of the best ocean views in Cozumel.

Very easy current, and many amazing spots for you and the fishes.

2. El Cielo Sandbar ⭐ Cozumel, Mexico

📷 IG Vibes: Mermaid energy, snorkeling selfies, drone shots in paradise.

💡 Tip: Wear bright swimwear—it pops against the blue water. Like white :)

I am a boat person, So I made sure the hubby got me in and out of the water. He is the best!

3. The East Side Beaches 🌊

Wild, rugged, and totally untouched. This side of the island has no big resorts, no crowds—just wind, waves, and beauty. Perfect for a boho, barefoot shoot.

💡 Tip: Go for sunrise if you're an early bird, or late afternoon for moodier light.

This spot is actually where the surfer usually surf, Right on the other side.

Its called Playa Bonita. Its mostly abandoned, but It looks like they are remodeling something.. Sounds exciting!!

This hidden gem is located right in town, near the Punta Langosta cruise terminal and marina. With its castle-like facade, weathered stone walls, and oceanfront location, this spot gives off major old-world charm meets Caribbean breeze vibes.

📷 IG Vibes: Rustic elegance, history meets ocean, dreamy castlecore with a tropical twist.

By far my favorite photo of Sasha and I :)

5. Downtown San Miguel Murals + Streets 🎨🚲
