Playa del Carmen is a coastal resort town in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. A former fishing village, it has transformed into a popular tourist destination, thanks to a subtropical climate, sprawling beaches, coral reefs and a laid-back way of life. Adventurers seeking water sports enjoy scuba diving in the ocean or a freshwater cenote, swimming with turtles, or sailing a catamaran. History lovers can explore plenty of unique landmarks including the nearby Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum, both within a few hours’ drive of the city. Visitors looking for leisure activities head to downtown Playa del Carmen for a stroll through the El Zocalo square or a bite from a street food vendor. The cobblestoned, pedestrian-only La Quinta Avenida boasts an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants.
