International Pier Cozumel Question

[TequilaToo]

Quick ?? on International Pier in Cozumel...are there any shops right AT the pier, or do you HAVE to taxi into downtown to do any shopping at all? We're not really interested in going downtown, but might wander off the ship for an hour or so if there are shops right at the pier.

There are many shops right at the pier.

There is a shopping complex at the top of the pier. You have to pass through it to get to the street for cabs, etc.

 

BTW, if you did want to venture into town it is an inexpensive 5 minute cab ride from the pier to town. Very easy and safe. The town offers plenty of shopping, restaurants, and bars if you would be interested.

Ignore the Hard Rock sign across the street. There isn't one. It's actually further on Melgar toward downtown. If you get a shopping map like we did that says Margaritaville is outside the pier, ignore that too. It' actually just before the downtown pier.

I'd go downtown and skip the tourist trap mall at the pier

It is also an easy walk down to the other pier that Carnival docks at. It is newer

and has more shops and cafes.

Go to the beach, then do a little shopping at either place. San Miguel is ok, but it's not like it's a "can't miss" experience.

i feel carnival side has better shops

Should be adequate for what we want, just a few little souvenirs. Nothing major.

We're feeling really low energy today, but did want to be able to say we at least set foot on Mexican soil and bring back some momentos.

 

Thanks for all the info!

According to the Hard Rock website, there is currently no Hard Rock Cafe in Cozumel. The one in downtown having closed last summer and the one near the pier is not yet open (if it ever does).

 

And yes, I saw the "open" one in downtown back in December. I would not go in there because now it is technically an unlicensed Hard Rock Cafe location.

Good to know. We didn't stop in anyway. I almost missed it altogether as we drove by.

I will be on the Allure. Does anyone have a map of Cozumel?

Thanks.

I found those, you can also use Google Streetview, it covers most of the pier areas and downtown.
