My wife likes to walk in the morning when she gets out of bed is there enough beach where she can get a good walk about a couple of miles?

We saw the beach grow between 2/2 and 2/9 by at least 30 feet. When we got there it was a drop off with rocks in the water, by mid week a sand bar was created by the surf, next day no sandbar no rocks just a nice little beach. So yes, they do change quickly. Riu Playacar is wonderful. It is a small 326 room, intimate, friendly service oriented resort - food was great.
Regarding the beach walks – I sure hope you can walk the beach by March. The problem is that the resorts on both sides of Riu Playacar have much bigger problems with erosion. Right now the Riu Playacar is ‘beach locked’ due to the tides and sandbags at the resorts on either side. It broke my heart to see the way those hotels managed the erosion. Normally, you would be able to walk, this year, not so
