Playa del Carmen -- This beachfront tourist town has suffered only minor damages from the massive storm Hurricane Dean, which came ashore in the early morning hours about 100 miles south of town. Electricity has already been restored and many shops are opening back up for business. Even the ban on alcohol sales has been lifted -- a sure sign that things are slowly returning to normal. The beaches and waterfront facilities suffered moderate damage. Many palm trees were uprooted and the facades and roofs of many buildings were blown apart. The tidal surge pushed sand half a block up from the beach in some areas.
