Best Playa del Carmen Beaches!
Enjoy your Mexico Beach Vacation!
January 27, 2020
The best Playa del Carmen beaches are made of beautiful white sand and the turquoise blue water that you would expect from this Mexico and Caribbean waterfront destination! The sand in Playa is most likely the best you will find of any found in Mexico.
Like many Mexico beach destinations it started as a small fishing town. Now, Playa del Carmen, being the center of Riviera Maya is the perfect location to visit this fantastic beach vacation destination. Starting just south of the exclusive area of Playacar to Hacienda Tres Rios resort to the North, you will have just under 10 miles or 16Kms. of romantic Playa del Carmen beaches to enjoy strolling with family, friends or the love of your life!
All Playa del Carmen beaches are public for everyone to enjoy so stroll all you want. The only thing is that one must be respectful and not expect to enjoy beach beds, loungers etc. in resort areas and beach clubs. Some beach clubs will allow their customers to enjoy the facilities with an admission fee and of course you will be expected to eat and drink within their respective areas.
Some of the Playa del Carmen beach clubs also offer swimming pools and live music. In the main part of town you will find all types of water sports such as scuba diving, snorkeling, fishing, parasailing, seadoos or personal water crafts, water toys. You will find all kinds of things to do to have a fun filled day at Playa del Carmen beaches!
The further north you go from town the more space you will find to enjoy peace and serenity! Playa del Carmen beaches are mostly safe to swim in. Some offer lifeguards but one should never take any chances. Inexperienced swimmers and children should wear life vests of some sort.
Playa del Carmen seaweed maintenanceRegarding Playa del Carmen seaweed: May to August seems to be the worst time for this issue in the Caribbean. A good and well maintained resort will clean any seaweed on its beach for its guests. More remote and secluded beaches may have more seaweed. So enjoy the pristine, seaweed free beaches of Cozumel at a beautiful waterfront resort for a seaweed free beach vacation!
