 Explore one of the best stretches of beach in Mexico. South of Cancun you will encounter Playa del Carmen. Playa del Carmen is among the best destinations for enjoying the simple pleasures of ocean-side vacation: taking in the sun, lying on a soft white beach, or cooling down with a swim in the clear blue water. Playa del Carmen draws crowds of visitors each year with its lively nightlife and thriving restaurant scene. If you are looking for an all-inclusive vacation destination then Playa del Carmen is second-to-none.
Playa del Carmen is located in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo. The city is the seat of the Solidaridad municipality. Originally this was a small fishing town and tourism to Playa del Carmen started with the passenger ferry service to Cozumel, an island across the Cozumel Channel and world-renowned scuba diving destination. It has gorgeous beaches, rich history and culture, authentic goods and food, and best of all, it lacks the crowded, frenzied atmosphere of nearby places like Cozumel and Cancun. That’s right – all the goodies without the pitfalls of over population and too much partying. |
