Things to do in Cozumel, Day Trip, Cruise Excursion, East Side Bar Hop, Cozumel Pueblo Mágico

One of our favorite things to do in Cozumel is visit the East Side (also called the Wild Side or el otro lado). Take a look and you’ll see why! The East Side is unspoiled beauty. Sea turtles nest on this side of the island and there are no big resorts, tall buildings, or beach houses blocking the incredible view. There is no electricity so it’s without ugly telephone poles and wires. Remember the days before smart phones when people laughed and talked together? This is the place, amigos! For the most part there is no wifi and cellular service is sporadic. Bring cash, credit cards are not accepted. The restaurant bars are palapa style and cook using fire. We promise you will not be disappointed!
