Playa del Carmen Lucky 7 - Playa del Carmen, Mexico - Lucky 7 on Waymarking.com

Once a peaceful fishing village, Playa del Carmen has become a popular destination on the Riviera Maya. Lively bars, cool boutiques, local taquerias and luxury hotels rub shoulders here, all with a bit more authenticity than in Cancún, further north. During the day, hit the beach or take the ferry to Cozumel, and at night stroll down La Quinta (the town's main pedestrian street) to mingle with the locals and sip a delicious margarita. And if you want more, go scuba diving or visit the ruins of Coba Tower which dominates the surrounding jungle.

Tourism to Playa del Carmen began with the passenger ferry service to Cozumel, an island across the Cozumel Channel and a world-famous scuba diving destination.

Playa del Carmen has recently undergone extremely rapid development with new luxury residential condominium buildings, restaurants, boutiques, and entertainment venues. Tourist activity in Playa del Carmen centers on Quinta Avenida, or Fifth Avenue, which stretches from Calle 1 norte to Calle 40. A pedestrian walkway located just one or two blocks inland from the beach, Fifth Avenue is lined with hundreds of shops, bars, and restaurants. There are many small boutique hotels on and just off Fifth Avenue and on the beach.

Playacar is a residential and tourist development in Playa del Carmen just south of the main urban area. Most of the all-inclusive hotels, the aviary, and the golf course are located in this development. There are two phases – phase 1 is mostly residential with a few hotels and some stores, while phase 2 contains the largest all-inclusive resorts as well as the golf course and a significant number of residential properties.
