Miami

Ocean Drive on Miami South Beach is the main beach drag in the heart of the neon-lit area lined with bars and restaurants where the tanned and toned rub shoulders with the diners, drinkers, sunbathers and swimmers. This is party central with everything contained in one area.

Costa Maya

Costa Maya is a small tourist region in Mexico on the border with Belize, which until recently was British Honduras. The area is generally undeveloped but has a large pier with a new and modern tourist shopping mall to accommodate cruise ships. The centre has a central plaza with saltwater pools and 'swim-up' style bars. The nearest village to the cruise port is the fishing village of Mahahual approximately 3 kilometers away with soft sand beaches, grass thatched palapas, and a coral reef a short distance off-shore called Banco Chinchorro, as well as several bars, restaurants, and shops. Costa Maya is the closest port of access to many of the lesser known Mayan ruins in the Yucatan Peninsula.

Mahogany Bay (Roatan Islands)

The Roatan islands are situated in Honduras are where you will find Mahogany Bay – a silky sand beach with diamond-clear seas. Roatán, the largest of Honduras's Bay Islands, is a real beauty, built on a backbone of volcanic rock and ringed by the world's second largest coral reef. Honduras promises superb diving and fishing and swoon-worthy beaches.

Cozumel

Cozumel is an island just 12 miles long and situated 20 minutes ferry ride from the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. Cozumel is really a staging post for cruise passengers to visit mainland Mexico with its Mayan ruins at Tulum. Cozumel town is lively with its many bars and myriad of shops. Explore the Xel Ha aquatic park with its subterranean rivers, natural pools and sacred Mayan Lagoon. We found the scuba diving here to be the best in Caribbean. The best beach is located in the Punta Sur Ecological Park.
