About Playa del Carmen

Playa del Carmen is a relaxed Riviera Maya beach town with a buzzing pedestrian avenue, white sand, and cenotes, reefs and ruins close by.

Quinta Avenida, the town's long pedestrian street, runs parallel to the beach and is lined with shops, cafés, restaurants and bars that stay busy late. The beaches are wide and white, with Punta Esmeralda a local favourite for its shallow lagoon, and the water is warm and clear for much of the year.

Top-ranked sights in Playa del Carmen: Rio Secreto Nature Reserve, Fifth Avenue (Quinta Avenida), Cirque du Soleil Joya.
