Why go
Playacar offers a long sandy shoreline south of central Playa del Carmen, with a quieter, resort-backed setting than the town's busiest beach areas. Walk the coast, take in the Caribbean views and swim when conditions permit. It suits a simple beach-focused outing close to town, with the shore as the main attraction.
What to look for
- Long sandy shoreline
- Caribbean swim
