Enjoy what Playa Del Carmen has to offer! The order in this guide was chosen to be from central places in Playa Del Carmen to peripheral places (further away). And the last few options are beach clubs and a night club back in the central area of Playa Del Carmen, plus a jewellery store outside of PDC.

Playa del Carmen is one of the top diving destinations in the world, thanks to vibrant sea life and dazzling underwater caverns. On dry land, Playa is a hipper and more modern version of the fishing village it once was. Spend some quality time on the golf course or wave hello to the playful spider monkeys at The Jungle Place sanctuary.

You’ve probably heard of the Yucatan peninsula if only for its most well-known destinations, between Cancun with the older, fancier resort crowd frequented by tons of Canadian and American tourists, and then Playa del Carmen where you’ll find the younger and more rambunctious party scene.
