Playa del Carmen North – Coco Beach / Punta Esmeralda
North Playa del Carmen beach between Coco Beach and Punta Esmeralda. E–SE trades blow side-onshore. The sea is choppy with a narrow beach. Hazards: rocky limestone ledges around Punta Esmeralda, swimmers and beach clubs, and boat traffic. Nortes blow offshore, so don't ride then. Coordinates are approximate.
