A Caribbean coastal city on the Riviera Maya corridor between Cancún and Tulum, Playa del Carmen centers on the pedestrianized Quinta Avenida, a kilometer-long street lined with restaurants, boutiques, and street performers. White-sand beaches with calm waters front the town just west of the ferry terminal to Cozumel. The blend of Mexican and international culture makes it a convenient base for exploring regional cenotes, ruins, and reefs.
