Hi fellows,
I would like to go to Cozumel, decembre/january, what's about sargasso, thanks?
We took the ferry to Playa yesterday and it was pretty awful over there, all the way down to Tulum. We have not been on the East side this trip but haven't noticed any along the West side, at least from San Miguel to Puerto Maya.
When we were out fishing a couple of weeks ago, the guys on the boat told us that lots of people were coming across on the ferry to escape the dismal state of the beaches in Playa del Carmen.
Tagging on to this thread because I'm curious as well.
We just came back from a week long trip (Mid May) and from Punta Sur to most of the East side it was piled up one the beach. The smell was bad enough from the road we didn't even think of stopping. We like Chen Rio's, Coconuts, and wanted to stop at Punta Moreno, but were unwilling to stop at any of them due to the smell.
Is the Sargasso seasonal, or just random?
