Best time to Visit

Playa del Carmen doesn't often have bad weather, so any time of year is a great time to make the most of this gorgeous stretch of coast. If you want the least busy period, however, opt for a visit some time between April and May. Summer and winter are the high seasons, so a spring trip will help you dodge the crowds. Expect average high temperatures somewhere in the 80s°F at this time. Bliss!

What to Pack

Ensure a totally stress-free vacation by packing practical basics like insect repellent and high-factor sunscreen. Make sure you have some less serious stuff in your case too. Consider the following:

  • Your brightest swimsuits: This is a place for vibrant colors and bold patterns. Embrace the year-round summer vibe with your most summery swimwear.
  • A waterproof camera: Endless fun is to be had with one of these in Playa del Carmen, especially if you go diving or snorkeling.
  • A book you can't put down: Long, lazy beach days go by in the blink of an eye when you have some quality reading material to keep you busy.
Getting Around

Exploring the heart of Playa del Carmen on foot is easy, and thanks to the sun, it's very pleasant too! This part of the city is also quite bike-friendly, with several good bike paths available and a decent range of bike rental companies to choose from. The abundant taxis will get you around late at night. Colectivos (shared van taxis) and city buses are more affordable, and ADO buses or a rental car will open up the area beyond the city to you.
