A quick one and a half hour bus ride away from Cancun, we can find Playa del Carmen which offers spectacular beaches, fun activities, and a great nightlife. The pedestrian-only Fifth Avenue is a nice walk during the day with many shopping options and a variety of restaurants. There is also Plaza Paseo Playa del Carmen which is an outdoor shopping center with many high-end stores and a food court. The port to take the ferry to Cozumel island is around the corner from this shopping center. Other exciting activities which Playa has to offer are snorkeling, skydiving, and theme parks. At night, there are a number of bars and clubs along Fifth Avenue. My personal favorites are the rooftop or beachside bars where you can enjoy a nice cold drink whilst getting the breeze and fresh air from the ocean.
