Where We Shoot

The nearest beach. Cocos Cabañas Playa del Carmen Adults Only is right by the sand, so the beach is the natural start of the session. The sea here faces Cozumel, so the horizon has the island's low line on clear days.

A second setting. The quieter beaches of the north, where there is space even in high season.

Colour in town. Painted walls and side streets off Fifth Avenue are lovely in the soft light after sunrise, before the shops open.

The beach faces east toward Cozumel: sunrise lifts over the channel and the hour before sunset gives soft, even light. Mornings have a bonus: from roughly November through January, the sun comes up from behind Cozumel, across the water.
