04-07-30 foka: if you could take out of the scenery all the turists, boats, parasailing and jet-skies it will be a real kite paradise. kiting is allowed only north of coco beach and in some playa-car beaches. Playacar fase 1 is a residential area on the beach south of laya del carmen, playacar fase 2 is the hotel zone with big all inclusive hotels on the beach. (parasailing,bananas, boats, jetskies,...)
