Punta Sur Eco Beach Park

Punta Sur Eco-Park is well worth the bumpy ride. We went when Il Norte was making rough waves on the west side of the island. The crystal clear water and beach are like paradise. We saw one alligator and several water birds on the boat ride on the lagoon. The view from the lighthouse was one of the highlights. We are so glad that we are in Cozumel and grateful for its preservation of its natural beauty.

Beautiful eco park! Open until 5PM. When we entered (at 3PM) the beach access was already closed, so we only went to the lighthouse, the ruins and the cenote. We saw a lot of animals (iguanas, crocodiles, birds) around and the view from the lighthouse is stunning.

The Punta Sur Eco Park was by far the highlight of our stay on Cozumel! It’s super peaceful, and we saw several wild crocodiles and even a coati. The entrance fee is around €25 per person, but it includes a free boat tour through the mangroves (available in English and Spanish). The beach is absolutely stunning — the most beautiful one we’ve seen in all of Mexico. Unlike many other spots, there was no seaweed here at all. The water was crystal clear, and there are great snorkeling spots you can reach directly from the beach. There’s also a lighthouse you can climb for an amazing view over the entire park. Absolutely worth visiting!

Punta Sur Eco Beach Park is one of the most beautiful and peaceful spots in Cozumel. The park offers stunning ocean views, a historic lighthouse, and plenty of opportunities to see wildlife like crocodiles, flamingos, and tropical birds. The beaches are clean and quiet, perfect for swimming or relaxing. The small Mayan ruins add a nice cultural touch, and the on-site restaurant serves great local food with a view. It’s well worth spending a few hours here to enjoy both nature and history in one place.

Rented Buggy from HTL (great service) and went to Punta Sur. We got tickets from rental company for $15 vs the $22 entry fee, saved a few bucks since that was our plan. The drive is on dirt road and plenty potholes but manageable for any vehicle. Stopped at lagoon tower for some pics and one crocodile sighting from above, then headed onward until we ran into signs for restaurant parking and Stopped, wow was so glad we did, went to restaurant on left and found out it's called Virgin Beach, not a club per say as long as you plan on getting food and or beverages. This was an absolute hidden gem! Smallish in size but white powder sand, turquoise blue calm water and place was practically empty at noonish for us. Suffice to say my grand day tour plan around island got derailed for a few hours as we were thrilled to stop. On way out we climbed lighthouse, it can be a task up spiral tight staircase, we r couple in mid 50's, we made it fine, last thing u needed to do at top was crawl through an opening about 3.5 ft high, then you are on the top 360 view platform. Had place to ourselves for about a few minutes then two large groups arrived, please note staircase is only one way wide so need to coordinate and communicate up and downs, doable as there r few spot to get past each other.

SO much worth the drive down there!! Stunning views, stunning beaches and super nice laid-back atmosphere on the beach clubs, compared to the ones on the west coast pf Cozumel! My only regret is that we arrived a little late (1330 at park entrance) so missed the last lagoon boat ride (1400) and only had 2 hours on the beach, as the clubs close at 16 and the park at 17. Will go earlier next time!! -The road to the lagoon/beaches is OK in a normal car, with a bit of careful driving.

⭐☆☆☆☆ One of the Worst Experiences – Not Worth the Trip! Visited today, and honestly, this was one of the worst experiences I’ve had at a tourist spot. The road to get there is terrible — full of potholes and dirt paths covered with water, so you can’t even see where the holes are. The lighthouse view was decent, but the area itself was smelly and swarming with mosquitoes. Bathrooms and showers were not clean at all. They charged us $210 USD for 11 people (including 4 kids) and only accepted cash — felt like a total rip-off. The food and massage were also disappointing. The water was dirty and full of seaweed. Overall, this place is not worth the time or money. Florida beaches are much cleaner and far more enjoyable. Mexico really needs to stop taking advantage of tourists like this. Save your money and visit a nearby area instead! Worse of all they have this plastic tables one of our family member seat on it and it broken as I think this are old and being in sun they are weak. They charge $10 for the table it shows their mindset.

Wonderful place! Great beach with a small snorkeling area, a crocodile lagoon and a lighthouse with amazing view over the area.
