Cozumel is one of the most visited cruise destinations in the world. The island sits on the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef, the second-largest coral reef system on Earth, which is what keeps snorkelers and divers coming back. Away from the water there is the town of San Miguel, the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio, and white-sand beach clubs.
