    Here's the thing though. Its great that this guy reports almost real time but clearly he aims at negativity for clicks.
    I can show you pictures taken today less than a mile away and everything is pristine. Playacar is BEAUTIFUL and this changes everyday for each section of every beach.
    And as you saw, folks are working relentlessly to clean up.
    This is not a reflection of the whole beach at PDC, not by a Longshot.
    Yes sargasso gets worst as it gets warmer and it starts earlier than ever but this scene is very isolated and could be fine tomorrow.

      Correct, this cove is always the worst part of the whole beach area

    After being in Playa, for a week now, I can only commend the beach cleaners. Today, Feb 14, around 9.30am, there was no sargassum from Playa del Carmen beach to Inti beach - and the sea was very clean too. There have been a couple of storms which did bring a fair amount of seaweed but the cleaning crews did their job admirably. Obviously the beachfront is long and haven't covered every km

    • @leonardsheatravel
      @leonardsheatravel  8 місяців тому +4

      Agreed! I talk to them everyday. Some are volunteers. We volunteer too. They are managing it. Working hard. Lots of respect for them. Thank you for watching! See you on the beach.

    I heard when they have these blooms, it is generally near a sewage dump of water. I know it it like that in the USA. All the garbage feeds the crap. So sad. LIKE 17👍👍👍

    Most Mexico travelers know that mid February is sargasso season and predicted to get worse in the coming years due to increase seas temps rising.

    • @leonardsheatravel
      @leonardsheatravel  8 місяців тому +5

      I will keep making videos but I keep getting head aches from that one area and the insects keep swarming me. If it is new seaweed I will go there again but if it is older seaweed I won't for health reasons. Thank you for watching!

    It looked like that in June last year that cove is the worst of the whole section, we were there in December and no seaweed the cove was clean. We always stay at mahekal

    • @leonardsheatravel
      @leonardsheatravel  8 місяців тому +4

      Yes, you are right! I was here in December too and it is good... no seaweed. Great place to stay Mahekal...did you like it? PDC is a great place.... just have to come here at the right time of year to avoid the seaweed. Thank you for watching!

    • @dueceduece1000

      It can last easily for 6 months, always gets worst in the summer.
      BUT this varies day to day and you can walk 300 feet either way and the beach and water is pristine!

    @Irina-Carlos 8 місяців тому +2

    Playa del Carmen has more than 40 km of coastline and you only film sargassum, sea grass and red algae in a 100 meter stretch, which is a cove and not a beach for bathing. You are sensationalist.

    • @leonardsheatravel
      @leonardsheatravel  8 місяців тому +4

      Yes good point. I did a video 1 km north of here a few days ago and the beach was awesome. This is the worst area and other areas are awesome. Thank you for watching!
