Punta Morena is a calm and tranquil beach located on the wild east coast of Cozumel, away from the crowded tourist beaches in the center. It features fine white sand bordered by palm trees, with a peaceful atmosphere ideal for relaxation.

The spot offers an authentic Mexican experience, with crystal-clear waters and panoramic views of the Caribbean Sea. It is a favored location for its small sheltered coves and easy access by car from San Miguel.

Palapas and a seafood restaurant add to the charm, making it a perfect place for a full day by the water.

Location

Detailed information

On the east coast of Cozumel, Punta Morena works well with east (E), southeast (SE), and northeast (NE) winds, which are side-on or side-shore relative to the east-facing beach. These directions provide a water surface with rolling waves over a shallow sandbank, perfect for jumps and speed.

Launching is done directly from the fine sandy beach mixed with rocks, with a wide take-off area but to be monitored in case of ocean swell. The riding area extends along the beach for about 800 meters, with space for freeride and wakestyle, but stay clear of rocks and snorkeling areas.

All tides are suitable, as the spot is a beach break with sandy and rocky bottom. During nortes (strong north winds from October to April), conditions can become choppy with swell, while in summer, SW, W, NW winds bring rarer flat conditions on this exposed coast.
