Perhaps at some point, we ask ourselves what contributes to the success of Playa del Carmen as a Mexican destination. And undoubtedly, the answer comes quickly: the shine and magic of its scenery is easily perceptible, and almost as if you are executing a perfect harmony, each of the elements contributes its own color. The sea calls us to its depths, bringing and carrying waves, the sand does not take long to reveal its infinity, reserving a spot for each person to sunbathe or partake in some sport. Playa del Carmen can be this and much more; a versatile destination that adapts to what each traveler seeks.
And without a doubt, one of the preferences of most travelers is to make the most of the aquatic life, through various alternatives, whichever pleases them most. There are those who seek diving and snorkeling, and there are those who prefer to spend an afternoon of sport fishing in Playa del Carmen. Those who lean towards this option seem to refuse to abandon the scenic beauty, as if they cannot take their eyes off the tall palm trees dotted along the golden sand, as if they need to see it permanently to realize it’s not a dream. Yet, they also resist giving up the chance to explore the sea and its abundance.
The Caribbean Sea is generous regarding the varied and exotic species it holds within its depths, so it’s enough to cast the hook and after a few minutes, you start to observe the action. Swordfish, marlin, tuna, among others, are just some of the species you can catch and learn about. Soon, it’s inevitable to take a photo to immortalize those moments when you became the hero of fishing.
Moreover, the trip is complemented with moments of culinary pleasures, as the vast majority of tours offer some snacks and appetizers along with the entertainment. Regardless of whether you travel with a group of fishing enthusiasts or with your family, you will have a great time; you will be surrounded by a relaxing atmosphere, as well as an incredible panoramic view that will seduce you with its colors.
But undoubtedly, beyond the moment of fishing or enjoying free time, nothing will be as worthwhile as the rainbow of oranges and reds that appear in the clear sky when the sun sets. It is then that the moment arrives to head back to the beach, to see what else awaits us in Playa del Carmen? And surely, it could be a dinner, under a cabana with a delicious seafood dish as the main course.
Lastly, as a piece of advice, don’t forget to bring fresh and comfortable clothing, as well as a hat, sunscreen, and sunglasses. With that, you’ll be ready to enjoy a day that promises to be different. Playa del Carmen awaits you to live this incredible experience!
