Surrounded by the
turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea, Playa del Carmen is a holiday
town with a charming village-like appeal. Though increasingly popular
with tourists, it retains its small artist-colony feel thanks to
boutique shops and small hotels. Snorkeling in Playa del Carmen is far
better from a boat than off shore, so chartering a boat is
recommended. Trips out to some of the local reefs give snorkelers the
chance to explore a variety of ocean life. The reefs that can be
explored when snorkeling in Playa del Carmen are ideal for snorkeling
because they have a maximum depth of 15 feet, meaning that the best is
near the surface. A Playa del Carmen snorkeling experience not to be
missed is a trip that takes you inland as opposed to into the sea.
Cenotes are freshwater sinkholes that are common in this part of Mexico
and make for excellent snorkeling adventures. When snorkeling in Playa
del Carmen, it is well worth the time and effort to go to Cenote Park,
which offers the chance to explore these completely unique freshwater
spots. Joining an organized trip with an experienced guide will allow
you to enrich your trip. Each cenote is different, and an expert will
know how to show you the best they have to offer.
