Beach scene in Playa del Carmen - Mexico

After classes are over for the day, our program allows you plenty of time to discover your new country, culture and enjoy the beach scene of Playa del Carmen, a great place to meet the locals and practise your Spanish.

Central beach Playa del Carmen: The beach has pure fine sand with some exposed limestone so footwear is not required in most areas. A great location for Snorkeling, swimming, all types of water sports. It also offers Dive shops, beach bars & restaurants and even horse-rides on the beach.

For sporty types Playa del Carmen offers plenty of water activities, the most popular is scuba diving on the magnificent coral reefs that surround the area, and there are plenty of opportunities for beginners to experienced divers to make the most of it.

The less adventurous can snorkel, viewing the underwater world from above. A plethora of watersports equipment is available to rent on and around the beach, from sailboats to jetskis, parasails to charter fishing boats.

Cozumel:
The island of Cozumel is only 12 miles (19 km) off the Mexican Yucatan Peninsula's east coast and 44 miles (71 km) south of Cancun. For years, Cozumel was a quiet sleepy island that didn't get many visitors until Jacques Cousteau did a documentary on it after discovering the world class scuba diving at the Palancar Reefs nearby.

Since 1961, Cozumel has been known as one of the best scuba diving destinations in the world. In fact for decades since that time, the only tourists visiting the island have been primarily scuba divers.

The beaches on the southeast of the island are really spectacular with little traffic so the beaches are pretty quiet. Sometimes people park their scooters and enjoy a beach all for themselves.
