The original driving force that made Playa del Carmen famous as a tourist destination and later a thriving real estate market is the beaches; from the tourism which these beaches with soft, white sand with the turquoise Caribbean behind it stemmed the many conveniences and services which the city now enjoys, including Fifth Avenue, the main tourist strip with its restaurants, bars and cafes. This is why it is necessary for those investing in Playa del Carmen real estate to know that the city has gone to great measures to maintain the attractiveness of these beaches.
Among the measures taken, perhaps the largest project was the beach restoration effort which took place at the beginning of 2010. This project replaced sand which had been eroded by the weather over the years since the in-town stretch of the beachfront had been developed. The beaches are now between 40 and 100 yards wide, with a special design to resist re-erosion, while offering large amounts of space for relaxing enjoyment.
Another effort has focused on keeping these same beaches clean, removing washed up seaweed and wood, placing garbage bins at points for easy access, as well as inspection programs to ensure cleanliness and collect any litter. Because of this effort, sampling analysis carried out at a national level in July 2010 confirmed that Playa del Carmen's beaches are among the cleanest in Mexico. A study of the water has also confirmed that the water is very clean, and completely safe for swimming.
In addition to the fact that this means real estate buyers will enjoy clean beaches, ideal for relaxing, walking or swimming, it also means that the tourism industry in the area will retain its central attraction, continuing to bring new tourists, more investment and increased services. This is important for anyone who wishes to buy a condo or home, or even make a solid investment in Playa del Carmen land; if those investing in a land purchase away from the beach to build their own home, these facts are of highest importance for their lifestyle. For those investing in land for development or business, both of these will bring return on their investment based on the strength of the tourism industry.
In the end, real estate buyers have everything to gain from the fact that Playa del Carmen pays special attention to its most important natural resource, in lifestyle or in investment.
