If you're honeymooning on Cozumel and hoping to start a family soon, look for a painting or statue of this lady. IxChel is the Mayan goddess of fertility. The snake on her head is a symbol of medicine and healing, and the water jug represents the womb. Who knows? You might leave the island very blessed, indeed.  

One of the delights of Mexico is that you can always pick up colorful reminders of your trip together, even on a limited budget. You don't have to break the bank for pottery or wall hangings that will forever remind you of love found on Cozumel.  

Tiny chapels, like this one at El Cedral at the south end of the island, make the perfect setting for a small Cozumel wedding or reaffirmation of vows.  

Cozumel is blessed with blue-green seas and endless stretches of soft sand. This beach, just a short drive from town and the cruise-ship docks, feels miles away from civilization. It beckons lovers to walk and talk, sit and reflect, and splash through the waves as if nothing else on earth really matters.  

Find your own palapa and sit together in the golden sun, or shift back a few inches and savor a cooling shadow at the edge of the sea.  

In Chankanaab National Park, stroll through this arch into a tropical garden of curving pathways and sensuous statues, peaceful ruins, and a feeling of having been transported to a magical place all your own. The best time to visit is in between group tours.  

Cozumel is filled with brilliant colors and captivating creatures, like this pumpkin-orange iguana. He makes a fine addition to any honeymoon photo album, don't you agree?  

Few places on Cozumel are more inviting than Chankanaab National Park. Follow the path along the edge of the aqua lagoon, searching together for iguanas posing on the walls and rocks or camouflaging themselves among the foliage. If you stop for a kiss each time you spot an iguana, you'll have kisses galore to remember.  

Even if there are crowds along Avenida Rafael Melgar, San Miguel's main thoroughfare, you can find quiet places in and around the plaza to shop together for crafts or to sit and sip a tangy margarita, the colorful sights and sounds of the Mexican Caribbean all around you.  

Get married or honeymoon on a ship that's sailing a western Caribbean route and you'll stop in Cozumel, the perfect destination for couples who want to dive together, dine together, shop, stroll, drive a jeep, or merely sit on a stunning stretch of sun-drenched beach.
