Playa del Carmen News

Playa del Carmen News with a metro-beat focus—quick, clear, and anchored in Solidaridad. We cover what counts from City Hall to Quinta Avenida, Centro, Colosio and Zazil-Ha, Ejido and Villas del Sol, Playacar, Mayakoba, and Puerto Aventuras, with a close watch on tourism, public safety, development, water supply, and the cost of living. When hurricanes form, sargassum lands, beach flags change, the Cozumel ferry pauses, Tren Maya work disrupts service, or road works snarl Highway 307, we post verified updates in real time and link straight to official advisories, data, and public records. Expect tight explainers that untangle big stories—Section 5 of the Maya Train, beach recovery projects, short-term rental rules, and resort expansion—plus weekly briefings that include nearby corridors and the Cozumel link when they affect daily life in Playa. Start with today’s headlines, then dive into neighborhood coverage for the details on the ground. We’ve grown nationally, but our Playa del Carmen reporting is local-first and accountability-minded.
