The southernmost surf beach in the Santa Teresa area, located at the main crossroads (el cruce). Playa Carmen offers gentler, more forgiving waves compared to its northern neighbours, making it the top choice for beginners and surf schools. The wide sandy beach with mellow whitewater rollers is ideal for first-timers learning to pop up.
