Introduction to Playa del Carmen Edit Section - Playa del Carmen Travel Guide - Hotels & Restaurants
 
About 40 miles from Cancun, despite its being one of the fastest growing communities in Latin America, Playa del Carmen still maintains a small-town feel.  You can still imagine how it must have looked when it was a small fishing community.  But today, restaurants, hotels, and shops are popping up everywhere and owners come from all over the world, attracted by the beautiful beaches and the growing business opportunities.  As you walk down the bustling Quinta Avenida, a long avenue parallel to the beach, you might notice that small local shops, restaurants, and hotels now have several branches on the same street. This is one of the best places to stretch your legs, pick up souveniers, and enjoy a meal.  You could easily spend a day just walking the avenue. But, don't tire yourself out during the day because Playa del Carmen comes alive at night.  It is famous for its active nightlife.
