What’s up guys? It’s Zac and Ine from
World Wild Hearts. We’re here in Playa Del Carmen.
we’ve lived here for the last couple months actually
and, uh, in this video we’re just going to show you
the best things to do in the area and lots of fun
activities like beaches, cenotes, so enjoy the video.
The 4th thing you must do in Playa Del Carmen
is take a walk on 5th street.
This street is unique in that cars are not
allowed to drive on it for almost the entire strip
of road where the restaurants and activities are.
This means you have complete freedom to
walk where you want without worrying about
cars coming your way.
There is beautiful street art, awesome restaurants,
and daily activities and shows put on by
locals at Parque Los Fundadores.
Just keep in mind that if you walk the entire 5th
street main area downtown, it takes about 45
minutes without stopping.
So take your time and enjoy the local scene.
At number 3 we recommend exploring cenote Azul.
There are dozens of cenotes nearby but
our favorite one within 30 minutes of Playa
Del Carmen was by far Cenote Azul.
It has crystal clear waters with limestone rock
shining in green brilliance whether the
sun is out or not. It also has a perfect rock
platform to jump from and amazing snorkeling.
One thing that makes this cenote unique is
how large it is and how many hidden paths
there are around it. You can easily find your
own private space to swim and relax away
from the crowds even on busy days.
To get there, you can easily take a local
colectivo or taxi, which takes about 20 minutes.
It’s also within walking distance of Cenote Cristalino
and Cenote Eden, so if you want to have a full
day of multiple Cenotes, you have that option.
We're in a little cave here
but you can also do really cool
jumps from the rock here above us.
The second best thing to do in Playa Del Carmen
is visit Punta Esmeralda. Accessible from the
end of 5th street, this public beach is quieter
than the beaches that are closer to town
and has no entry fee. The ocean forms a
unique lagoon which changes shape as the
tides morph, making for a great swimming hole.
We visited this beach a lot during sunset
as it’s one of the only points in Playa Del Carmen
where you can get a view of the sun going
down to the west. At the far point of the beach,
you can also grab a drink at a small beach
bar away from the crowds, making it the
perfect time for relaxing and finishing
an evening in Playa Del Carmen.
The best thing to do in Playa Del Carmen
in our opinion is to do a day tour to Isla Cozumel
and go snorkeling there. The island is just a 30 minute
ferry ride away and leaves from the dock located
right next to Parque Los Fundadores.
There are many small booths in Playa Del Carmen
on 5th street where you can purchase snorkeling
tours to see the famous El Cielo beach.
You can also purchase a tour on Isla Cozumel
once you arrive, however it may be harder to
get one since everyone comes off the ferry
at the same time. We loved snorkeling at El Cielo
as we saw sting rays and tons of star fish on
the electric blue beaches. Make sure to stay
for sunset at one of the beach clubs in
Cozumel as the views are amazing.
