Things to do in Tulum, Quintana Roo: The Best Beaches

October 6, 2021 Kelli Reichel

Mayan ruins tower over the sea in Tulum. The formerly walled city was one of the last to be built by the Mayans, and its archaeological sites are incredibly well preserved. Take a break from the beach to visit El Castillo, the Temple of the Frescoes, and the Temple of the Descending God. Explore an underground river under a canopy of stalactites in the sacred caverns of LabnaHa Eco Park, or dive into Cenote Dos Ojos to snorkel inside of caves in the middle of a forest.

Playa Paraiso

It is like the name says: a paradise! It's one of those beaches where we would like to stay forever, watching the endless crystal clear blue waters, the coconuts palm trees and relaxing on the "hamacas" on that beautiful white sand!

Tulum Beach

Reviewed By kimlovesvancouver - Vancouver, Canada

Go visit these ruins! MUST SEE. I’ve been about 3 times now. Easy to drive to from your resort or take a local high end shuttle bus from DT Playa Del Carmen. It’s very inexpensive compared to a tour arranged through your resort. Don’t recommend doing it this way if it’s just 1-2-3 of you. The ruins are super cool and are perched high up above Tulum beach which is a little cool spot below via a long staircase. Bring your bathing suite, picnic and enjoy a few hours swimming where the Mayans once did. Enjoy!

An awesome place to stay for a day a week forever. Beautiful stretch of white sand beach with a cenote that enters the ocean to experience some "thermocline" Also a jungle cenote for a different swim. Food and drink at the hotel. Felt like I was part of the family.

Playa Pescadores

Reviewed By B1714D - Belgrade, Serbia

Playa Pescadores is a part of beautiful Playa Paraiso, one of the best Mexican beaches. It's free with a lot of shade beneath the palms. Hire a boat to take you see the ruins from the sea - amazing, just negotiate and haggle the price.
