Cozumel Beaches?

[DOOGIERUNNER]

Could someone tell me about pardise beach in Cozumel? Is the snorkeling any good?

Where in Cozumel would you recommend a nice beach and snorkeling w/ kids ages 9 & 11?

Unfortunately "nice beach" and off-shore "snorkeling" do not usually go hand-in-hand. The rocky beaches have better snorkeling (and sea-life).

However, the crowded rocky beaches have dead coral = poor snorkeling.

If you want a sand ybeach, then stick with the suggestions most will provide here. If you want good off-shore snorkeling, better look off the beaten path, like Dzul Ha.

Here is a site to help with your decision:

DOOGIERUNNER,
I went to Paradise Beach last January and LOVED it. besides my Husband and 4 friends there were only 4 other people there. I had read about Paradise Beach on the cruise critic boards and an so glad we tried it. The chairs and umbrella's we FREE and so was the use of the water trampoline and water ice burg. They do expect you to order food and drinks. We had a wonderful muslide and the best fahitas. We ordered from our chair on the beach and it was brought to us. the prices were very reasonable. We are going back to Cozumel in January and will definetly return to Paradise Beach. The beach next to us San Ferdinand beach was also very nice.
