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.

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.
