With an emphasis on diving, beaches and other water activities Cozumel doesn't offer as many nightlife venues as some of Mexico's other destinations, but that doesn't mean there's nothing to do come nightfall.

Most of the bars and restaurants along with the nightclub are located on Rafael Melgar Avenue facing the ocean.
