In the southeast of Mexico, on the shores of the Mexican Caribbean, there is a perfect place to vacation, a paradise that has it all: **Playa del Carmen**.
Playa del Carmen was an old fishing town that, in a few years, became the most important tourist destination in the Riviera Maya. That is because Playa del Carmen has it all: beautiful beaches, a shopping area, nightlife, and first-class accommodations.
Its greatest attraction is [Fifth Avenue](https://blog.happyaddress.mx/blog/en/why-is-the-5th-avenue-so-important-in-playa-del-carmen), a pedestrian shopping area where you can find bars, restaurants, boutiques, crafts, travel agencies, shopping centers, clubs, etc. If you are a fan of gastronomy, you will have to come here, as you will find from traditional Mayan food to award-winning international food.
In Playa del Carmen, you can do all kinds of water activities such as sport fishing, kitesurfing, windsurfing, parasailing, catamaran tours, kayaking, paddleboarding, wave runners, snorkeling in the nearby reefs, and diving in the sea, cenotes, caves, and caverns. You can also enjoy outdoor adventure activities like skydiving, zip lines, bike tours, and ATV tours through the jungle.
Besides, due to its strategic position in the Riviera Maya, you can discover the surroundings. See the ancient Mayan cities in Tulum or Cobá, go to the nearby water parks, and make a trip to the island of Cozumel or Isla Mujeres.
Playa del Carmen can spend all day chilling, sunbathing on white sandy beaches, and swimming in turquoise waters. At sunset, go shopping or go out to eat on Fifth Avenue. And by night, enjoy the vibrant nightlife in the most famous clubs in the area. It is a complete itinerary in just one place.
If we talk about accommodation, Playa del Carmen offers a wide variety of condos for all tastes and styles. But, if you are looking for the most comfortable experience, great quality, and excellent service, you have to check out the apartments that **Happy Address offers very close to Fifth Avenue**.
