I spent and afternoon snorkling off Punta Sur from the beach February 2008..... The current was strong and the coral was not that great. It looked the similar to the Grand Caymen snorkle I did a couple years ago.....the coral had a lot of sand over it ......more then the caymen....maybe Wilma after effects? IDK... and not a lot of... more

my wife and i rented scooters and rode from san miguel down to punta sur. what an amazing ride. while i would not reccomend this to anyone who does not own a scooter/ride frequently, despite all the comments on here we had zero problems riding here. punta sur was very scenic, the lagoon cruise was a waste of time since... more

Our second trip here. I loved this beach last March. It was peaceful, quiet ....just a beautiful place to relax with soft , powdery sand. We paid $10. per person. Within 10 minutes of arriving the place was overrun with cruiseship and jeep tours. Even though we paid our money, part of the beach and hammock area was only for... more

Our day at Punta Sur was a highlight of our trip to Cozumel. We took a taxi from town and arrived early at Punta. Much nicer than being on a tour with a large group of people...and 1/2 the price of taking a tour...Taxi RT was $52...admission $10 per person. Enjoyed the tour guides on the truck and boat..but snorkeling... more

We saw a Mayan lighthouse, salt water crocodiles, snorkled and climbed a lighthouse. What could be more fun? The water and beaches are beautiful. Our guides were very entertaining and knowledgeable. Felipe and Felix led us to the park in a caravan of Jeeps and no one got lost. My daughter and I loved it. more

My husband and I have been to Cozumel a few times before and always go to Chankanaab, which is wonderful, but we wanted to try something new. Before heading out, I did my research and decided to go to Punta Sur--it was the best day of our cruise! The ride from the cruise port to the park was $30 (one... more

My husband and I went on this excursion last Saturday. It was wonderful! Talk about a beautiful beach. It was pristine. The snorkeling was fantastic. So many things to see. One of the best beaches we have seen in YEARS! We were so impressed that we are taking all five of our kids ( ages 6 -20) back in six... more

We thoroughly enjoyed this trip. I have 3 teenagers and they really liked it a lot too. The view is incredible from the lighthouse. We did the $6 tour which included the ride out to the lighthouse and all. We did not do the longer tour(s). We snorkel at our hotel and the water & ironshore was too rough here... more

I went to Punta Sur as a shore excursion on a recent cruise. First, my tour group went off-road driving in Jeeps. Our tour guides were very enthusiastic which added to the excitement. When we got to Punta Sur, we boarded another vehicle which stopped at several interesting spots: a small Mayan ruin, a freshwater bay where crocodiles reside, and... more
