Originally a small fishing town, Playa del Carmen is nowadays the fastest growing town in Mexico, a nice place to relax away from the crowds of Cancún but with the same quality beaches and turquoise waters. Tourist activity centres on the Quinta Avenida, or Fifth Avenue, a pedestrian walkway located just one block inland from the beach, and lined with boutique hotels, shops, bars and restaurants. Playa's perfect location offers many opportunities for day trips from Playa del Carmen to explore Mayan ruins at Tulum, Coba or Chichen Itza, snorkel the lagoons at Xcaret or Xel Ha, swim in a cenote (underground cave), or explore the charming island of Isla Mujeres.
