Mexico Beaches - Playa Del Carmen And Cozumel
By Rick Chapo, Thu Dec 8th
Mexico has beautiful beaches on both the Pacific Ocean andCaribbean. In this article, we look at two hot spots on the eastcoast - Playa del Carmen and Cozumel Playa del Carmen With one of the prettiest beaches on the Caribbean coast, Playadel Carmen was the hidden gem of Mexico for years and years.About 10 years ago, the word got out and now Playa del Carmen isexploding. If you're looking for solitude, this isn't the placewith cruise ships and so on packing the place during highseason. On the other hand, this is definitely the place if youlike a lot of "resort" in your beach vacation.
Playa del Carmen has a lot to offer to visitors. Of course, thebeaches are beautiful and I highly recommend you catch thesunrise, which is some of Mother Nature's finest work. Stayingup shouldn't be a problem since the nightlife in Playa delCarmen is plentiful. During the day, you can loaf on the beach or head out for somediving in the clear waters of the Caribbean. Should you gettired of the beach, you can head inland for some surprisinglyquality hiking. Cozumel An island off the Yucatan Peninsula, Cozumel is a slice ofCaribbean paradise. With smooth, crystal clear waters, Cozumelhas the white beaches you see in the Corona beer commercials. Onthe island proper, one can loaf on the beach, pursue world classdiving or just loaf on the beach. Dolphin
petting and sitting inthe hammocks of Xal-Hal are touristy, but fun things to do.Although Cozumel is on cruise ship circuit, it maintains therelaxed atmosphere found in smaller destinations in the MexicanRiviera. Unfortunately, Cozumel was in the news through much of the lastweek of October 2005 because Hurricane Wilma pounded it. Given afew months, Cozumel will be on the mend and a great locationsince prices will undoubtedly be low to attract visitors. If you are planning a visit to the Mexican Riviera area, Playadel Carmen and Cozumel are definitely worth your consideration.Personally, I would pick Cozumel in a heart beat.
