in the last weekThis review is to give you instructions on how to get to the beach for free. We’ve seen the Tulum Ruins a couple of times so that wasn’t our purpose for this excursion. Here goes …. We were on our scooter and parked for free at the Tulum Ruins parking lot. Prior to entering the parking lot ignore all the sales people who appear to be helping you with parking, but actually selling you 1-hour boat tours for 600 MXN per person LOL. After entering the parking lot you will go through an outdoor mall. You can use the washrooms here … just follow the official signs (not the free baño signs leading you to a store). After you pass this outdoor mall you will see signs to the Public Access to the Beach (fyi 8am to 5pm). You will go through a checkpoint for your bags. Don’t bring single use plastics (eg Cristal water bottles … we bought a cheap 2-litre hard plastic water jug/bottle from Chedraui). And just to be safe I didn’t bring ziplocks too. They will stamp your wrist after this. Then you will walk for about 20 minutes to get to Playa Santa Fe. Easy peasy … you don’t have to pay a cent. From there you can walk to the next beaches …. Playa Pescadores etc. These beaches are lined with beach clubs … which don’t excite me really. Plenty of boat tours lining the shore. Vendors selling tours or products … not too pushy though. There was plenty of seaweed when we were there. Would I go back to this beach? No, but it was an experience and the water was beautiful.

in the last weekThe beach was full of seaweed (sargassum), but it's very beautiful, fine, and white. We opted for a one-hour boat tour. They take you to the archaeological site for photos, followed by a 40-minute snorkeling trip. We saw turtles, manta rays, and three or four types of fish, despite the sea being a bit rough. It cost about €6 per person. Prices start at 500-700 pesos. In the end, after asking around and haggling, they let us have it for 125 pesos per person.

in the last weekIt's a quiet beach, very quiet, with not much to do unless you decide to take a boat trip or go snorkeling, but it's good for relaxing and walking.

a week agoBeautiful place, the snorkeling was 10/10, don't miss the experience, the guides were very friendly. We got hit by a wave and it was very annoying, but once we got to the shore it wasn't a problem anymore. The place is spectacular.
