If you’ve been to the Playa del Carmen real estate areas, there’s no doubt that you know downtown’s most famous landmark, and the wide, beautiful beach that goes with it – El Faro Beach in Playa del Carmen with its Lighthouse. Because of the combination of a gorgeous beachfront, all of downtown’s activities, and some excellent restaurants right on the beach, we’ve chosen El Faro as the sixth beach of our 25 Top Beaches of the Riviera Maya series.
The name “El Faro†refers to the landmark itself, and is Spanish for “The Lighthouse.â€Â What’s nice about El Faro Beach is that it can be enjoyed as a part of any activity you choose to enjoy in Playa del Carmen.
Often, when we go out for dinner or a cold drink downtown, this beach becomes part of the outing; we either enjoy the restaurants right next to the sand, or afterwards, we’ll head down and enjoy a walk on the sand later on.
Walking along the beach we see people playing volleyball, relaxing on blankets in the sand, enjoying nearby lounge chairs, wading in the water, swimming, and just about any other activity you can think of. Anyone who enjoys the dining and shopping of Fifth Avenue – the main downtown pedestrian street that runs parallel to the beach – can easily take a short walk (a small city block) down to El Faro Beach.
It’s also a well-known landmark, easy to find. Once you arrive to the beachfront in any part of downtown Playa del Carmen, you’ll see this landmark. It’s a favorite place of ours – and many other people – to meet on the beach, either for dining or for enjoying the sand.
We’d love it if we could meet you here at El Faro not too long down the road; in the meantime enjoy the beautiful HD videos and pictures on our page for El Faro Beach in Playa del Carmen. Look for our next beach coming in a post this week.
