Playa del Carmen is a small airfield just south of this top tourist destination on the Mayan Coast. It is mainly in use for sightseeing flights and flights to the nearby island of Cozumel. The airfield was badly hit by hurricane Wilma in late 2005, leaving many damaged aircraft scattered around the airfield.
The layout of the airfield is fairly simple: a single runway 11/29 with all aprons situated near the 29 threshold. Dense vegetation hinders views of the runway from the north and south.
Once in Playa del Carmen, the airfield is hard to miss. It is located just south of the village center, between road no.307 and the Caribbean Sea. The east end is just three blocks away from the Cozumel ferry terminal at the end of Avenida 15.
