If you are staying at a hotel on the Tulum Beach Road then take a battery operated smoke detector and flashlight with you on your trip and keep it on the nightstand in your hotel room during the night.

The Tale Of The Ever Never Once there was a He of the night. Shadow of shadows, solitar step, He walked many nights to find Her. Once there was a She of the day. Twinkle of wheat, dance of light, She walked many days to find Him. They were always looking for each other, He and She. The night was always pursuing the day. They both new, She and He, the quest for what can never be found. It seemed as if it would never happen; it seenmed impossible; it seemed never ever... And then the dawn came for Him and for Her. Always, forever...

Playacar, is part of Playa del Carmen but a gated community of assorted developments to the south. This planned, upscale, secure neighborhood has an 18-hole golf course, a dozen large all-inclusive hotels, and private condos, which are available for rent.

Playacar has two sections:

• Phase I is oceanfront.
• Phase II is next to the golf course.

There is a nice little shopping center directly across the street from the RUI. It is a 4-minute taxi ride into Playa del Carmen.

Depending on what hotel/resort you are staying at, the beach can be wider or deeper or have a gentle slope to the water or a steeper slope to the water. It varies as you travel along the beach but most of the beach from Playacar to Playa del Carmen is slanted.

After the Gala, the beach continues for about a mile. Within that mile, you begin to encounter huge rocks that break up the beach---first intermittent rocks, then slowly turning into solid rock as far as you can see. It also becomes more and more isolated the further south you go. There are a few beautiful private beach areas in between the rocks.

The main gate for Playacar is located just north of Juarez off Hwy 307.

You can also walk into Playacar from Playa del Carmen either by walking along the beach or through the mall that is at the ferry docks. Just walk north and you hit Playacar.

Playa means "beach" in Spanish.

There are Mayan ruins located in a park in Playacar see photos below.
