What is around the dock area?

[lovevacadays]

We will be sailing on Princess in November and will be doing the Tulum tour. Once we get back is there typically time to do a little exploring by the dock? What is the area around the dock like?

Typically there is some time to shop at the pier area if you aren't too tired from the trip to Tulum.

Each of the piers has all the typical tourist shopping you'd expect to find. Lots of "Duty Free" stores and t-shirt shops.

You will most likely be at the Punta Langosta Pier, which is the 'downtown' pier. The Punta Langosta Mall is at the end of the pier. Easy walk from there to all the shops on the waterfront and to the town square.

 

If you are at the International Pier, there are shops as bruce-r said, but you will need a taxi to town if you want more variety. In January, it was $7US for up to 4 people.

 

It's unlikely you'll be at the Puerta Maya Pier, since it is a Carnival Pier. It is next door to the International Pier, so the same comments apply.
