hey knarf, about 8 years ago during residency I went scuba diving there... can't remember the specifics about those few days because there was a bit of alcohol and nightlife involved, but you can fish on certain parts of the island. I don't recall seeing much "surf" as in a beach you can walk to the water and cast a line out, though.

I did bring a rod, some metal lures, and rented a moped and drove to the other side of the island and fished off a rock wall. There is a lot of coral on the other side and there were fish.. they just didn't hit what I had.. I would have gotten some bait and fished with that, but I was pressed for time.. I was there mostly to dive and see the ruins.. the damn moped broke down.. the police had to bail me out..and the police guy ( as everyone on the island does) wanted a bribe to help me out... after all that hassle I ended up chilling out at some Bob Marley bar with a good view of the ocean on the other side of the island..

While I was doing my research on planning a trip there there were many blogs/forums on Cozumel..you could probably google them up..

oh yeah, if the hotel doorman asks you if you want any fresh fruit, meat or chakkachakka say HELL NO!! otherwise you'll get a knock on your door at midnite lol
