Playa del Carmen mexico question.?

Question

I will be going to Rui Maya Riviera Resort in Playa del Carmen Mexico, in just about a week. I would like to know are there any nice deserted beaches, (I understand due to the date there may be many tourists there) I would like to find so empty beaches to take some photos. Does most of the beaches below to private resorts making walking across them hard? I have never been before so any info about the beaches or indeed about playa del Carmen would be great!

Thank you

Answer 2

I'm not sure about deserted beaches in that area, however I do know that Mexico's entire coastline is public beach, therefore the private resorts technically can't stop you from walking across the beach. Hotel lobbies are a different story.

For general information about Playa: http://www.playa.info/

This is a satellite image of Playa and the areas around it:http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&ge...

It looks like there is beaches that don't have resorts built around them to the north and south of Playa.

Have fun.

P.S. The flag system goes:

Black Flag - The highest warning level, indicating real danger. Do not swim!

Red Flag - Dangerous conditions! Only swim with much caution.  

Yellow Flag - No immediate danger, but use caution while swiming

Green Flag - Water conditions are safe and ok to swim.

Answer 3

well you have to be careful in the ocean because they have colored flags that worn you red I think if i could remember means there is Jellyfish that could sting you. The last time we seen one but didnt sting us. I think the green flag if I could remember also means it is safe to swim. They also had a yellow flag. Right there at the beach before you enter the water there will be a colored flag either red,green or yellow and there will be like a medium sized board that lets you know what these colors mean. for sure red and yellow means to watch out and green is safe for you to swim. so just look at the board if they have one to see if it is safe to swim.

Answer 4

Hi

The answer is yes, there are many beaches like you want but only outside of the city.

Recomendation:

You can go to Cozumel island by boat from Playa del Carmen. Cozumel is so BEAUTIFUL and I am sure that you are going to find deserted beaches. By the way, It takes to you something like 30 minutes to arrive Cozumel
