Playa del Carmen is a picturesque tropical getaway that graces the Yucatán peninsula on Mexico’s southeastern coast. This trendy town along the Riviera Maya boasts an eclectic vibe courtesy of a cosmopolitan crowd that descends on its palm-lined beaches. Marine eco-parks, scenic golf courses, and sprawling all-inclusive resorts are scattered across town. Take a stroll down vibrant La Quinta Avenida, the main thoroughfare that runs parallel to the shore, lined with colorful restaurants, bars, and street performances. Further inland, lush forests, a network of cenotes, underground rivers, and springs present opportunities for unique day excursions. There’s plenty to explore in the nearby Cozumel Island.
