Did you know? Playa del Carmen

Playa Del Carmen was a small fishing village of fewer than 1,000 people in 1980, but has grown into Mexico's second-largest Caribbean resort destination with over 250,000 residents.

The city's iconic Quinta Avenida (Fifth Avenue) stretches over 1 km through the heart of downtown and is a car-free pedestrian zone lined with shops, restaurants, and bars.

Playa Del Carmen serves as the main gateway to the cenotes of the Yucatán Peninsula—natural sinkholes with freshwater lakes popular for swimming and diving.

The nearby ruins of Tulum, perched on cliffs overlooking the Caribbean, are among Mexico's most-visited archaeological sites and lie just 40 km south of Playa Del Carmen.

Playa Del Carmen's beaches are fed by the Caribbean's warm currents and boast white sand and turquoise water year-round, with water temperatures staying above 24°C (75°F) even in winter.
