Originally a small fishing town, tourism to Playa del Carmen began with the passenger ferry service to Cozumel.

While passing through, many people realized that it was a nice place to relax away from the crowds of Cancún but with the same quality beaches and turquoise waters.

Playa del Carmen is strategically located, midway along the Cancun-Tulum corridor, no more than 60 minutes away from either the bustling city of Cancun or the ancient ruins of another popular tourist destination, Tulum.

Cozumel island is also just 45 minutes away by ferry.
