| Cozumel Mexico Vacation Guide |
Cozumel Beach Restaurant; El Galeón.
| Cozumel Mexico is known
for its white sand beaches; especially on the "other side" of
the island. But what many don't know is that each beach has its
own personality and each its own specialty. For example; the
Rasta Bar beach has great
ceviche (seafood cooked in lime juice).
Paradise beach (on the leeward
side) caters to cruise ship groups and has all the modern beach
toys.
Chen Rio is a locals beach
primarily, and so on. Well, the public beach on the other side of the island, just south of Chen Rio is home to El Galeón! Sandra used to have the concession at Punta Morena and had a loyal following because of her incredible seafood platter but after hurricane Wilma destroyed the place we lost track of her. |

As it turns out Sandra opened up her new restaurant right across
from the public beach and her seafood platter is better then ever (not having had it for a couple of years made me appreciate it more). For anyone who loves seafood, this is
a must visit Cozumel beach. The large platter consists of a variety of seafood, including, lobster, whole fish, conch, calamari grilled with garlic and butter (YUMMY), octopus, shrimps, and more! This is not a sales pitch. Its just that we got back from eating there about 3 hours ago and I can still taste the delicate and tasty flavors. This web site and the photos on it were taken May 2nd, 2008. |

This is a picture of the actual platter that we were served
today. I had to hurry up and take the picture because I was
afraid that the flies would get to it before I did! Don't worry,
if you are worried about that your waiter will give you a hand
held fan to shoe them away! :-) |

While we were there the kite boarders were sailing by across the beach. The view as you can imagine is magical. The lifeguard and tower with its red flag reminded you that these waters are also known for their dangerous rip currents and should be used with respect. It is also one of very few beaches on Cozumel that actually have lifeguards on duty. |
| So the next time that
you find yourself on the other side of Cozumel Mexico make sure
to stop by
El Galeón and have a slice of heaven on earth; Seafood heaven
that is. We hope that you have the best vacation ever on Cozumel. Best Regards, Bob Rodriguez Cozumelmexico.net |
