Playa del Carmen 

Playa del Carmen, now the third largest city in Quintana Roo (population more than doubled in the last 10 years) is the most fashionable city in the entire Yucatan Peninsula. Located on the leeward side of Cozumel, the beaches of the city are flooded with Europeans in very good physical condition. 

Walk along the promenade of Playa del Carmen, Fifth Avenue (Avenida 5), it is a great game to see and be seen. It's where the beautiful people go. A city of fashion and physical appearance, soberly chic and European cancheramente. 

The city is well situated: near the international airport of Cancun, but far enough south to allow easy access to Cozumel, Tulum, Coba and other worthwhile destinations. The reefs are excellent and offer diving and snorkeling nearby. Look stripes, moray eels, sea turtles and a variety of corals. The lavender sea fans guarantee very picturesque scenery.
