Dive Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:25:32 -0800

Do a little snorkeling in Mexico, and you'll soon be wracked with envy whenever you have to share a boat with a pack of scuba divers. I came down with this affliction several years ago on Baja's East Cape and got so far as to complete the course work, but I was grounded by a hurricane that brushed the coast before I ever hoisted a tank. Since then, my travels have taken me most often to the Yucatán Peninsula, where the warm Caribbean's aqua, teal and indigo striations and hallucinatory clarity have piqued memory of that lost opportunity into a gentle obsession.

Riviera Maya Playacar Playa del Carmen

Thu, 31 Dec 2009 17:04:58 -0800

The de facto hub of the Riviera Maya and Mexico's fastest-growing city, Playa del Carmen is not exactly a place for seclusion and quiet, but it's also not a high-rise jungle. Often known simply as "Playa," the beach is surprisingly broad and relatively clean -- especially north of main drag Constituyentes -- and resort and dining prices are the region's most competitive. Years ago, city officials had the prescience to designate Fifth Avenue -- one block from the beach -- as a pedestrian-only street, with restaurants and shops that percolate cheerfully each evening.
