Beaches
The west side of the island generally has beaches with calmest water. Beaches with an iron shore (rocky) shoreline on the west coast are generally considered to be the best for snorkeling.
Surf and larger waves on the east side of the island are beautiful but may pose a potential hazard, since both currents and undertows are strong. Flags are displayed showing the safety level for swimmers. Never swim alone. Despite the swimming conditions, these serene beaches are perfect for sunbathing and playing in the waves. This area is very popular with the locals and their families.
The Cozumel Chrysalis Group

Mexican public school students are required to pay fees for registration and special exams in addition to providing their own uniforms, classroom supplies and some books. The financial scholastic support and materials provided by Chrysalis directly benefit the students allowing them to focus on learning and achieving their potential.
