Cozumel, Mexican resort island, c.190 sq mi (490 sq km), in the Caribbean Sea off the E coast of the Yucatán Peninsula. It is famed for its beaches and coral reef (declared a national park in 1996). The island was inhabited by the Maya before the
arrival of the conquistador Hernán Cortes in 1519. Long a
favored destination for sports diving, the island was not
extensively developed for tourism until the 1960s. It is now a popular cruise port.
