Best time to visit Cozumel

Cozumel enjoys a tropical savanna climate and the summer period between December and March is the peak tourist season on this gorgeous Caribbean island. The welcoming blue waters, sunshine and annual colourful Carnaval Week in February draw thousands of revellers to Cozumel every year. If you prefer to visit when accommodation and air fares will be cheaper, visit Cozumel between the months of July and November. Summer temperatures are highest in July and August but it is bearable and the best time to go diving as underwater visibility is beautiful and crystal clear. From September until November the island experiences its rainy months so if you go during this period you should keep an eye out for hurricane warnings. Other than that, temperatures are still warm and perfect for sightseeing or celebrating with the locals on Mexican Independence Day (In September) or the exciting Mexican Revolution Day (In November).

Health & Safety

Before travelling to Cozumel, Mexico, make sure your routine vaccines that include the MMR vaccine, DPT, Chickenpox, Polio and yearly flu shots are updated. Although it is not an entry requirement, most travellers are advised to be vaccinated for Hepatitis A and B, Typhoid and Malaria.

While in Cozumel, it is best to drink pure, bottled water and, if you purchase any produce from street vendors, wash or peel the product before eating it. Cozumel is a safe island, however, you should still practice normal safety precautions. Keep your valuables and important documentation safe and watch out for petty crimes like bag-snatching or pick-pocketing. Always travel in groups, avoid beaches after dark and do not swim in waters with black or red flags posted as this signifies that the water current is dangerous. Avoid unsavoury nightclubs and only use licensed and reputable cab companies.
