Music, dancing and other entertainment abound, and the pace is perfect for those in the vacation mode. The Maya also loved this island, as evidenced by small archeological sites. Visitors will want to check out San Gervasio and El Cedral, the two most interesting Mayan Temples on Cozumel. But like most islands, it is the water that is the star of the show. Crystal clear, invitingly warm, it is perfect for lying next to on the white sand beaches, soaring over on a para-sailor, skimming across on boats, or diving under.
Many facilities offer scuba certification courses and full equipment rentals.
Playa del Carmen's beaches are justly famous, with glittering white crystal sand, clear warm water and a cold drink always nearby. Seldom do you have the opportunity to do absolutely nothing in such a gorgeous setting. That does not mean there is nothing to do. Several important Mayan archeological sites are in the vicinity, a chance to explore a thousand-year old civilization. And plenty of water sports are offered by hotels and other establishments along the Playa del Carmen beachfront.
