About Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen er en afslappet badeby ved Riviera Maya med en livlig gågade, hvidt sand og cenoter, rev og ruiner tæt på.

Quinta Avenida, byens lange gågade, løber parallelt med stranden og er kantet af butikker, caféer, restauranter og barer, der holder åbent til sent. Strandene er brede og hvide, med Punta Esmeralda som lokal favorit for sin lavvandede lagune, og vandet er varmt og klart det meste af året.
