This island is world-famous due to its coral reefs, and it was the first island in the world to receive the distinction of the “Island of Peace “by the ONG – ONU International Committee. The Cozumel Reefs National Park is a symbol of the island as well as the Punta Sur Ecological Reserve. The south edge of the island is a huge protected area, where you find Punta Celarain and its historical lighthouse; there is also the Colombia Lagoon, which is home to many species endemic to the island and other endangered forms of life such as sea turtles and their nesting areas.
