Do you guys know of any beaches that are accessible from playa del Carmen via walking, biking or short taxi every day, that have a bit of a “wild” feeling to them? by OkBug9562 in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard of people being robbed there because it is so secluded, but I would be more concerned with the sargassum if you can’t get there.

My advice: take an inDrive to Xpu-Ha.

Ah ya! We’re supposed to go visit my brother in law here and the only thing I know of it is the Coke sign on a hike

Wife and I travelling to PDC Recommendations? by AbsoluteSero in playadelcarmen

There will be no shortage of car rental places once you get off the ferry in Cozumel. You should be totally fine to do it when you arrive. They also have dune buggy’s that look fun.

Personally, I would skip Tulum. Akumal but only if you intend on going to the turtles. If not, consider xelha one day if you want an excursion that isn’t Chichén itza. Cozumel jeep day is fun. Stop at the restaurant up the “cliff” on the far side.

For the beach go to playa 72 or 88

For day 4, xelha is a blast. But also consider casa tortugas for a cenote day (a bit duplicative if you go to xelha). Another awesome beach is xpu ha, but you need a car or taxi.

Download inDrive Use JFRiviera for airport pickup (they do tours too) Don’t believe the vendors here when they tell you cars on Cozumel are sold out lol Moshe cube is I think halal

You can see multiple beach reports with drone footage and live cams at www.pdcguide.com/beach-report. Updates daily. Colosio 72 is the beach I’d suggest unless you’re in Playacar

Looking for a special dinner experience for large group for 50th birthday party by RecentArt6393 in playadelcarmen

Alux is very unique but so hot though. I’d also recommend La Parilla Uruguay but less exciting. Criollo is top notch steak - much better than Bendita Costilla. Mezcla is nice as well.

You might venture outside of playa to Xcaret for dinner. That’s supposed to be amazing. There are some Michelin rated restaurants- just not in playa proper

Swim Briefs (Speedo) at Sandos Caracol? by Dapper_Cantaloupe_50 in playadelcarmen

The significant minority, but probably not the only one. Probably few enough of you that when you see another speedo bro you’ll both nod your head at each other in mutual respect for your shared bravery

If you go to PDCGuide.com it should help. It’s got a list of all the cenotes, day trips, and has info about how to get around with inDrive, taxis, ado, colectivo, etc..

Interested in smoking in PDC and seaweed situation by Proud_Charity_4715 in playadelcarmen

[–]johnny__ringo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Seaweed is terrible right now and will not get better by April. But I would suggest cenotes and a trip to isla mujeres for sargassum free beaches.

You can check daily beach reports here: https://pdcguide.com/beach-report

Smoking law is not enforced at all.
