Cozumel, in the state of Quintana Roo, Mexico, which is known for a high level of safety, especially in heavy tourist zones. Cozumel is within Quintana Roo, and is especially safe, given that it’s an isolated island and a popular and lucrative cruise and diving destination. Violent crime involving tourists in Cozumel is nearly non-existent. Petty theft, pick-pocketing and local robberies are reported sporadically, especially during low tourist season, as more local work/income opportunities decline (Aug-Sept). Bottom line, as you would anywhere – use common sense to keep your valuable belongings secured and your wits about you. Overall, though, it is far safer than most destinations, and residents and visitors alike report high safety, few (if any) personal threats, and a very friendly, helpful, and welcoming environment.
