Cozumel building lifeguard towers, revamping tourist viewpoints

Cozumel, Q.R. — To strengthen tourist attractions of Cozumel, the municipal government is improving tourist viewpoints and beach areas. The viewpoints being revamped are located on the east coast of the island.

The government is also constructing four lifeguard towers, three of which will be built in the same areas.

Cozumel mayor José Luis Chacón Méndez highlighted the importance of maintaining these spaces in optimal condition since they are visited daily by thousands of tourists and represent a direct image of the natural beauty that distinguishes the island.

The work consists of the rehabilitation of three viewpoints located on the eastern road of the island. The first is on Playa Chumul at kilometer 44+360, the second on Playa Chen Río at kilometer 42+000 and the third on Playa San Martín at kilometer 40+800.

The project also includes the construction of four lifeguard towers one at each viewpoint and one more at Las Casitas.

The rehabilitation of the viewpoints and the construction of the four lifeguard towers is a coordinated project between the municipal government through the Federal Maritime Terrestrial Zone (Zofemat), headed by Director Irwin Batún Alpuche.
