What Time of Year Is Seaweed Bad in Playa del Carmen? Playa del Carmen beaches are renowned worldwide for their white sands and stunning turquoise waters.


However, sargassum seaweed appears during some seasons, and the amount can vary from minor to a lot. The sargassum season, which often peaks from April to August, is unpredictable.


In some years, the seaweed can be heavy, while in others, it's light.

However, the weather typically keeps the beaches clean during the peak travel months from December to March.


It's important to note that there isn't a specific sargassum season, so caution and preparation are essential. I suggest following the page "Sargassum Monitoring."
