Playa del Carmen Mexico
Mexico Beaches - Playa Del Carmen and Cozumel
By Richard Chapo
 Mexico
has beautiful beaches on both the Pacific Ocean and
Caribbean. In this article, we look at two hot spots
on the east coast – Playa del Carmen and Cozumel
Playa del Carmen
With one of the prettiest beaches on the Caribbean
coast, Playa del Carmen was the hidden gem of Mexico
for years and years. About 10 years ago, the word got
out and now Playa del Carmen is exploding. If you’re
looking for solitude, this isn’t the place with
cruise ships and so on packing the place during high
season. On the other hand, this is definitely the place
if you like a lot of “resort” in your beach
vacation.
Playa del Carmen has a lot to offer to visitors. Of
course, the beaches are beautiful and I highly recommend
you catch the sunrise, which is some of Mother Nature’s
finest work. Staying up shouldn’t be a problem
since the nightlife in Playa del Carmen is plentiful.
During the day, you can loaf on the beach or head out
for some diving in the clear waters of the Caribbean.
Should you get tired of the beach, you can head inland
for some surprisingly quality hiking.
Cozumel
An island off the Yucatan Peninsula, Cozumel is a slice
of Caribbean paradise. With smooth, crystal clear waters,
Cozumel has the white beaches you see in the Corona
beer commercials. On the island proper, one can loaf
on the beach, pursue world class diving or just loaf
on the beach. Dolphin petting and sitting in the hammocks
of Xal-Hal are touristy, but fun things to do. Although
Cozumel is on cruise ship circuit, it maintains the
relaxed atmosphere found in smaller destinations in
the Mexican Riviera.
Unfortunately, Cozumel was in the news through much
of the last week of October 2005 because Hurricane Wilma
pounded it. Given a few months, Cozumel will be on the
mend and a great location since prices will undoubtedly
be low to attract visitors.
If you are planning a visit to the Mexican Riviera
area, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel are definitely worth
your consideration. Personally, I would pick Cozumel
in a heart beat.
