The population of Cozumel is approximately 110,000. The majority of the island’s population, around 100,000, live in the town of San Miguel. With its many restaurants, bars, shopping centres, souvenir shops and street vendors, San Miguel is the bustling centre of Cozumel and the streets are full of people from early morning until long after dark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Einwohnerzahl von Cozumel betr\u00e4gt ca. 110.000. Der gr\u00f6\u00dfte Teil der Inselbev\u00f6lkerung, ca. 100.000, lebt in der Stadt San Miguel. Mit seinen vielen Restaurants, Bars, Einkaufszentren, Souvenirl\u00e4den und Stra\u00dfenh\u00e4ndlern ist San Miguel das gesch\u00e4ftige Zentrum von Cozumel und die Stra\u00dfen sind von fr\u00fch morgens bis weit nach Einbruch der Dunkelheit voller Menschen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cozumel has 5 main piers. Punta Langosta, the International Pier (SSA) and Puerta Maya are all cruise ship piers. A ferry pier in San Miguel is used for passenger ferries to and from Playa del Carmen as well as cruise ship tenders. Currently, there are apparently plans to add another pier for cruise ships, but these seem to have been shelved for now due to strong public opposition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cozumel verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber 5 Hauptanlegestellen. Punta Langosta, der internationale Pier (SSA) und Puerta Maya sind Kreuzfahrtpiere. Ein F\u00e4hranleger in San Miguel wird f\u00fcr Passagierf\u00e4hren von und nach Playa del Carmen sowie f\u00fcr Kreuzfahrtschiffzubringer genutzt. Derzeit gibt es wohl Pl\u00e4ne f\u00fcr eine weitere Anlegestelle f\u00fcr Kreuzfahrtschiffe, die jedoch aufgrund des massiven Widerstandes der Bev\u00f6lkerung erst einmal auf Eis gelegt wurden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avenida Raphael Melgar, the waterfront street and promenade, is often crowded with cruise ship passengers (over 4 million cruise ship passengers visit Cozumel each year) and day-trippers from the mainland, but they’re gone by sunset. And at any time of day, you only have to walk a few blocks inland to discover a different, quieter world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die Avenida Raphael Melgar, die Uferstra\u00dfe und Promenade, ist oft \u00fcberf\u00fcllt mit Kreuzfahrtpassagieren (\u00fcber 4 Millionen Kreuzfahrtpassagiere besuchen Cozumel jedes Jahr) und Tagesausfl\u00fcglern vom Festland, aber bei Sonnenuntergang sind sie wieder weg. Und zu jeder Tageszeit muss man nur ein bisschen ins Landesinnere gehen, um eine andere, ruhigere Welt zu entdecken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The heart of the town centre is El Z\u00f3calo, the Plaza, an oasis of stone and shade. The newly designed plaza features a clock tower, a water feature, the iconic Cozumel sign for photos and several places to sit and socialise. A great place to relax and people watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Herzst\u00fcck des Stadtzentrums ist El Z\u00f3calo, die Plaza, eine steinerne, schattige Oase. Der neu gestaltete Platz verf\u00fcgt \u00fcber einen Uhrturm, das ikonische Cozumel-Schild f\u00fcr Fotos und mehrere Pl\u00e4tze zum Sitzen und Verweilen. Ein idealer Ort zum Entspannen und gen\u00fc\u00dflich Leute beobachten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would have visited San Miguel more often, but it was very difficult to land the dinghy. There was no designated dinghy dock and the few sandy patches are behind rocky shores. This meant that every time we wanted to go ashore we had to carry the dinghy over the rocks. With the waves rolling in, we got soaked more than once during this maneuver. No wonder we thought twice about going ashore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wir h\u00e4tten San Miguel gerne \u00f6fter besucht, aber es war sehr schwierig, das Beiboot anzulanden. Es gibt keine ausgewiesene Anlegestelle f\u00fcr das Dinghy und die wenigen kleinen Sandfl\u00e4chen liegen hinter Felsen. Das bedeutete, dass wir jedes Mal, wenn wir an Land gehen wollten, das Dinghy \u00fcber die Felsen zum Sandstrand tragen mussten. Durch die Brandung wurden wir bei diesem Man\u00f6ver mehr als einmal bis auf die Haut durchn\u00e4sst. Kein Wunder, dass wir es uns zweimal \u00fcberlegt haben, ob wir an Land gehen wollen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
