Is Cozumel SAFE?

[halocline]

Cozumel sometimes feels more like an extension of Texas than the Yucatan.

I certainly feel much safer in Cozumel than in TX, and I live in TX.

ditto big time. I would consider moving there for safety but I live out in the country. On the other hand the crazy stuff I read about in our small time newspaper is scary too.

Cozumel is about the safest place I know. It's all relative; no place real is absolutely safe, but Cozumel comes pretty close.

Since I don't rent mopeds, my biggest safety concern in Cozumel are those side walks!

My wife calls those holes in the sidewalk "tourist traps".

Heck yes....a couple too many cervesas in the evening, and you can eat it good walking back to your room!

yes.

I feel safer in Coz than So Cal....

I feel safe enough that it's our #1 option right now for retirement.

Saw a woman today sitting on the side of the road headed south sobbing, and surrounded by several police, an ambulance, a gallery, and a crumpled up scooter.

Probably safe to say that there's a new addition to the don't rent mopeds contingent.

If I was going to live in one place after I retire Cozumel so far tops the list. It's far safer than some of the areas of Seattle are for sure.
