Join a hands-on beach cleanup on Cozumel, then relax with a picnic, Mayan ceremony, cacao and honey tastings, and a tequila flight at Parque Maya Otoch. This half-day eco-cultural tour pairs conservation with local flavor.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning on Cozumel begins with the slap of warm Caribbean breeze and the grit of sand underfoot as volunteers gather at a low shoreline where the sea pushes debris toward the beach. The Beach Guardians program turns that push into purpose: participants don gloves and life of simple tools supplied by guides, sorting plastics and rope beneath palms while waves keep time.
