If you're looking for something fun to do in Cozumel, at any hour of the day, then a visit to Plaza Central is sure to spark a bright idea or two! This vibrant town square is actually a part of the Parque Benito Juarez, but has been referred to as just 'La Plaza' by the locals for years.
Plaza Central reverberates with activity any time of the day or night. For the people-watcher with a roving eye, there's plenty of variety to take in. barely a stone's throw away from the ferry docks, the plaza is a popular haunt for cruise ship passengers, Cancun day-visitors, shopping enthusiasts and an array of locals. The plaza is most loved for the immense variety of activities it offers visitors. You can shop your heart out in the long chain of boutiques and perhaps even spoil yourself with some exquisite jewelry from the shops here. There are also a number of department stores where you can stock up on provisions and souvenir shops which have quaint curios and mementos, which make great gift ideas.
Sunday nights see Plaza Central at its liveliest and most crowded. You can don your Sunday finery and head to the plaza for an unadulterated night of merriment and laughter. Choose to flaunt a nifty dance move or two to the tunes of the Mariachi, salsa or Yucatecan music, or relish the action over a hearty dinner at any of the restaurants which dot the plaza. Admission is free of cost and you are welcome to plunge right in!
And if you're lucky, you'll get to savor even more of the Cozumelean-style revelry with the open-air concerts which are often conducted on weeknights as well.
When in Cozumel, do as the locals do... when in doubt, head to the Plaza Central. Irrespective of your taste or age, there's always something here for you to do.
