Playa del Carmen is a resort town set on the Caribbean shoreline in an area known as the Riviera Maya. The area is known for its flawless palm-lined beaches and beautiful coral reefs just off the coast. There is a pedestrian walkway known as the Quinta Agenda, which runs along the beach and offers shopping, dining, and nightlife opportunities.
The beaches feature soft white sand and turquoise water, providing the perfect backdrop for a day of sunbathing or relaxing in a hammock. However, if you like a bit more adventure and activity on your trip, there are plenty of activities available, including diving on the reef, riding jet skis, kayaking, and windsurfing.
