The wonderful beach is the place to go to meet people. Playa del Carmen is on the coast and that’s where most people hang out or work. Because of its location, Playa del Carmen is an ideal starting point if you want to get to know Mexico’s culture, especially the history of the Mayas. The town with its 60,000 inhabitants is big enough to have fun in, but small enough to find your way around.
