10 Things That You Can Do For New Year's in Playa del Carmen.
Every year is always a little different but there is always a lot to do!
1. Celebrate the evening on 12th and 1st st. This is where most of the clubs are as well as the people. Every club will have some promo to get you into them (bottle and table). But if you don't want to go into a club, there is also a huge gathering of people partying in the street between the clubs.
2. Bring in the New Year's at a restaurant on 5th Avenue. I would recommend making reservations at a restaurant you want to eat at before hand. Restaurants will be packed with locals and tourists from all over the world.
3. Every year there is a popular Dj that comes to Playa. This year it is Armin Van Burren. I suggest getting tickets in advance because this place will be hopping!!!!!
4. Celebrate on the beach. This is definitely the more quiet side of bringing in the New Year's, but most definitely romantic. Walking along the beach with friends or family, there is nothing quite like it. Just be careful with drinks. Neither glass nor liquor are allowed on the beach.
5. Fireworks! Most hotels will offer fireworks but I like being in the downtown centre on the beach and watching all the fireworks along the coastline going off as well as Cozumel Island as its display can be seen from the beaches in Playa.
6. BPM. This is an unforgettable experience, but does not fall exactly on New Year's. Last year for 2012-2013 it did, but this year it falls on January 4th till the 12th, 2014. Below is a list of all the Dj's coming in for this epic event and what days they are playing. This is a ticket event. So buy one now before it is too late!
7. Take a walk down 5th Avenue. This street is always a good place to be. Everyone seems to like to walk up and down the street and see what is going on. There is enough action on 5th Avenue to keep everybody grooving. Shopping, bars, and celebrations seems to be taking off everywhere. You really cannot miss out, because every corner seems to have something going on.
8. Head to Zenzi or Fusion. These are restaurants/ bars on the beach, right off of 5th Avenue. These places usually have New Year's menus, live bands, and fire dancing shows. This is great for people who want to sit and relax, watch fireworks, but yet still be involved in the fun.
9. Party like a tourist at Señor Frogs. This place really makes you get your dancing shoes on with shots, wild drinks, and a live band. This bar is right on the beach in front of the Cozumel ferry dock. A lot of tourists love to head there since it is a well known location to party all around Mexico.
10. Stay in the hotel! Some people choose this option, but I believe it a last resort (pun is intended). I think a lot of people miss out on all the activities going on. Granted staying in the hotel means that your room is close by for an easy retreat, but the happening place is 5th Avenue!!!!
This is a great list of places to go and things to do for New Year's. Playa del Carmen is well known for its diverse activities, so it is really not hard to find something for everyone!!
