Have You Heard about Coco Beach?

If you have, you’ve probably been to Playa del Carmen a few times, and you probably know it as the place where everything ends.  A closer look at what’s happening in the downtown are, however, will show you that it’s actually very much at the center of lifestyle on the beachfront and Playa del Carmen real estate.

The downtown beachfront area was originally centered between the two main access raods, Juarez Ave. and Constituyentes Ave.  Over the past decade, with the rapid growth of Playa del Carmen, and the arrival of a large number of Italian investors, the area along the beach north of Consituyentes has developed into Playa’s “Little Italy” with many excellent restaurants, cafes and Playa del Carmen condos developments.  Part of the beachfront about 2 blocks away from this stretch is known as Mamitas beach, where there is a famous beach club, and where the annual Riviera Maya Jazz Festival brings well-known international musicians every November.

Just past this, the beach draws out into a little point, known as Coco Beach.  At Coco beach, there are already jet-ski rentals, oriental massages, and a nice bar and restaurant.  But most travel guides and commentators will agree; there’s pretty much nothing past there, except a long stretch of wide beaches in the shape of a half-moon.

This, however, is changing. Mexico condo and hotel developers have noticed the potential of these wide beaches past Coco Beach, and construction has already begun.  As this development moves ahead, theses beaches will become frequented by many visitors and new residents.  When this happens, Coco Beach will be very much in the middle of Playa del Carmen’s central beachfront areas.

What’s more, Fifth Avenue – the main tourist street downtown, running through the original downtown area and Little Italy, is expanding quickly towards the Coco Beach area; only about 4 or 5 blocks away, cafes, nice clothing boutiques and pizza shops have already been opened.  Just about everything is pointing towards very good future potential, both for lifestyle and for investment.
