San Miguel de Cozumel, Port city in Cozumel Island, Mexico.

San Miguel de Cozumel extends along the western coast of Cozumel Island, featuring waterfront promenades, markets, and Caribbean architecture at 6 meters elevation.

The settlement originated in 1848 when groups from the Yucatan Peninsula established a community during the Caste War, receiving official recognition in 1849.

The central plaza hosts traditional dance performances, showcasing regional Mexican dances while local restaurants prepare Yucatan and Caribbean specialties.

The ferry terminal connects San Miguel with Playa del Carmen every hour, while the international airport receives flights from multiple North American cities.

San Miguel de Cozumel contains the only settlement on Cozumel Island, functioning as the primary gateway to the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System.
