Blue Parrot Beach Bar & Club is Playa del Carmen's oldest continuously operating beach bar, a 1993 institution that predates the tourism explosion that transformed the town. The beachfront venue has evolved considerably since its founding — today it combines a daytime beach club with late-night DJ events — but has maintained its position as a Riviera Maya landmark. The open-air setting directly on the Caribbean beach, with the sounds of the sea mixing with the DJ, remains one of the most quintessentially Playa experiences available.
Blue Parrot opened in 1993 when Playa del Carmen was a small fishing village just beginning its transition to a tourist destination. It was one of the first beach bars to attract an international clientele and helped establish the town's party reputation.
