The morning ferry cuts through Caribbean teal as you step onto Cozumel’s sun-warmed dock; salt tang and diesel mix in the air while a row of open-top buggies waits like impatient beasts ready to run. Your guide takes the wheel — the buggy is shared, the island is not — and within minutes the road unfolds past low scrub, white-sand coves and the reef’s distant shimmer.
