The location of Carmen Beach is very unique, it is an hour's drive to Cancun, an hour to Tulum, and an hour's boat ride to Cozumel on the outer island. So it has grown the fastest in Latin America, from the population of 78,000 in 1996 to the population of 350,000 now, doubled by about 50 times! The beach is mainly a public beach, the sea is not as clear as Cancun or Kozumel, the beach is not as quiet and clean as the beach in further places, there is a commercial pedestrian street along the beach, a variety of small shops for eating, drinking and playing on both sides, and a variety of souvenirs, very lively. People in Carmen Beach like cash very much, so the street is full of cash machines, some restaurants do not swipe the card only to accept cash. You can also pay in dollars or Pesos, but if it is a good deal, Pesos is king. The various flavors of restaurants on both sides of the pedestrian street can definitely meet the requirements of food, famous restaurants are: Alux (restaurant in the cave), El Fogon (authentic and delicious Mexican food), of course, there is no shortage of Chinese food (at Avenida 10 and 22nd Streets), and there are countless Pisa in Italy. Venezuelan, Swiss, etc.
