Cozumel Island is located in the <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Yucat%C3%A1n_Peninsula\">Yucatan Peninsula<\/a>, Quintana Roo, right in front of <a href=\"https:\/\/kitesurfvacation.com\/?page_id=2276&amp;lang=en&lang=en\">Playa del Carmen<\/a>. There is a water ferry that runs from Playa del Carmen to Cozumel each hour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Upon arrival in Cozumel we rent some motorcycles to explore the Island. Unfortunately there was no wind enough for <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kitesurfing\">kiteboarding<\/a> that day. There are many <strong>kite spots <\/strong>and perfect <strong>wide beaches<\/strong> for kitesurfing, you can find awesome waves on the north side. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">There is a secret spot in a flat lagoon called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com.mx\/search?q=isla+de+la+pasion+cozumel&#038;hl=es&#038;prmd=imvns&#038;tbm=isch&#038;tbo=u&#038;source=univ&#038;sa=X&#038;ei=HbdIULznMZLU8wTL2oGoBQ&#038;ved=0CCcQsAQ&#038;biw=1024&#038;bih=673\">Isla de la Pasi\u00f3n <\/a>or Passion Island. When the north wind comes, Punta Norte is the best place for kiteboarding. <\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">Cozumel has many<strong> beautiful beaches <\/strong>and ocean, many restaurants and shops in downtown. The water is crystal clear with light azure and turquoise colors. Many outdoor activities, scuba diving, fishing and snorkeling.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\">More info about <strong>kiteboarding in Cozumel<\/strong>, vacation rentals, kite schools, lessons
