Playa del Carmen is known for its all-inclusive resorts, nightlife, prominent Mayan culture, and exclusive shopping centers, but this vacation hotspot might be best known for its breathtaking, seemingly endless white-sand beaches. Learn why you should. The best beach in Playa del Carmen is undoubtedly in Playacar, a gated community where Sandos Playacar is situated and also the best golf course and restaurants in Playa del Carmen.
The “Endless” Beach
Just minutes away from the famous 5th avenue, starting from where the Cozumel Ferries arrive and stretching miles along the coast, these beautiful white sands are available for tourists to run, walk, or lay and soak in the Caribbean sun. A couple of fun facts about the Playacar beach are:
#1: The sand is never warm. No matter how hot the weather is, the white sand is refreshing and cool as your feet dip into them.
#2 There are no rocks in the water. That’s right; say goodbye to stubbing your toe on stubborn rocks; you won’t have to dodge rocks as you wade through the turquoise waters.
The Beach of Your Dreams: The Most Desirable Activities
This wouldn’t be the best beach in Playa del Carmen if there weren’t exciting and relaxing daily activities to take part in, would it? Luckily for all those in search of fun and relaxation, there is always something for every type and age of traveler! Here are a few that you can do with our friends from Scuba Libre:
Kite Surfing
Unfortunately, the waves in the Caribbean Sea don’t get large enough for regular surfing, but all you need for this adventure is a kite and a wake-board.
We recommend being experienced or taking a tutorial before you hit the water, but this is something you must try if you are in search of excitement. If you don’t have a board, there are always rentals directly on the beach.
Paddleboarding
If you still want to have the surfing experience but tone down the thrill a little bit, paddleboarding is the perfect option for you! You may want to practice a bit on the sand, so you don’t fall off when in the water.
You can get equipped with Scuba Libre directly on the beach at Sandos Playacar. The amazing crew is affiliated with Sandos Hotels and is trusted in giving you the best equipment before you get to enjoy the waves.
Parasailing
Soar through the skies and feel the soft Caribbean breeze brush against your face. This exhilarating excursion is fun to do with your special someone, friends, or kids. Talk with your travel agent or seek and go representative in the lobby and meeting point in Sandos Playacar to book this exciting experience.
Jet Skis
One of the most thrilling activities to do in the turquoise Caribbean waters is taking a ride on exciting jet skis! All you need is a valid driver’s license, and you can be right on your way. Feel the airbrush through your hair and the warm water splash against your legs!
We recommend making sure to take a minute to stop and enjoy the views from the sea; you may even see some fish swimming alongside you.
