About Playa del Carmen
----------------------
This charming little town was once a sleepy fishing village only disturbed by the gently rolling waves of the beautiful turquoise waters of the Caribbean. Today Playa (as referred to by the locals) still retains the charm of the old fishing village while offering many amenities of a first class resort destination.

Playa del Carmen is the closest ferry point for visits to Cozumel Island. It is a small, but fast growing city, with its very own personality. Residents and visitors from North & South America, and
Europe meet here, making it, truly, an international community.

In Playa del Carmen, visitors will encounter a rich bohemian, artistic, and natural life style, all close to some of the most important cultural, ecological, and recreational sites of interest on
the Mexican Caribbean's seacoast.

The strong foreign influence has created a unique vagabond traveler ambiance. Numerous outrageously delicious restaurants (French, Italian, German, Argentinean, Yucatecan, and of course traditional
Mexican and plenty of seafood are available) provide sustenance and several foreign-owned-small hotels raise the standards of service to exacting levels. Combine that with a relaxed Mexican-Caribbean feeling and a sprinkling of American free- spirits and you've got Playa. It is a place to enjoy marvelous beaches by day and a lively nightlife in the evening. The mix of backpackers, archeological buffs and New Age sun worshippers makes Playa very interesting.

Playa is centrally located in the beautiful Mayan Rivera. Only 40 minutes south of the world renown destination of Cancun, a short 40 minute ferry ride to the scuba diving paradise of Cozumel and 45 minutes north of historic Tulum, with many attractions and natural wonders located between.

Activities
------------
Most of Playa's activities involve the water - the beaches are fabulous for swimming, snorkeling, or diving. There are numerous dive shops around. Try the Tank Ha (Ha means water in Mayan) dive shop at the Maya Bric Hotel. The Abyss Dive Shop at the Blue Parrot Inn - Calle 12 North on the Beach offers a variety of dives geared to meet each divers needs: from beginners to experts.

At sunset, take a walk down famous Fifth Avenue where you will find a wide variety of shops to browse and buy regional handicrafts, silver, embroidered clothing, hammocks, leather goods, and pottery. In the evening Fifth Avenue is closed to traffic and becomes a pedestrian walkway. Folkloric dancers, mariachis, local artists are a common occurrence.
