Playa del Carmen has easy access to Cancun's airport and hosts daily cruise ship arrivals and ferry departures to Cozumel Island. Also in Playa del Carmen is the very popular 5th Avenue. One block away from the beach, this street is mostly pedestrian walkway, comprising International restaurants, sidewalk cafes, handicraft stores, dive shops and almost anything else a visitor could ask for. At night, "fairy lights" in the trees and buildings add a bit of fantasy and escapism, leaving the vacationer wanting to do nothing more than sit and plan their next trip to Mexico.
