Located across the street from Forum by the Sea in the Party Center, this colorful flea market offers everything from the obligatory souvenir Cancun t-shirts, brightly painted pottery, silver jewelry, and traditional Mexican clothing to tattoos (both real and temporary), body piercing and adult videos. You are expected to haggle with the vendors. If that isn't your style, stick with retail stores where there are fixed prices. Coral Negro can be a bit of an overload for the senses, but you're on vacation so relax and have fun with it.
