Tulum Beach – How to get there

When it comes to beaches, there is nothing more attractive than Tulum’s stretch of beach, lapped gently by the turquoise waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Tulum’s beach has yet to be pampered by the big all-inclusive resorts of Cancun and the Riviera Maya, instead it’s lined with cabanas and beach clubs that have a rustic-yet-chic charm. While walking on the Tulum beach, you can stop at the beach clubs and have a drink or a bite to eat and enjoy getting back to nature.

You can access the Tulum beach through several points. The first place to access is through the Mayan ruins of Tulum. In fact, you can park at the ruins for about $4 and then walk to the beach. Basically you follow the path to the ruins, then continue south and you will reach the beach.

You can find other places to access Tulum beach along the main Tulum hotel zone. This is where all the cabin hotels are located. Finding a parking space can be a problem, but when you do, you can head to the beach. We often walk by one of the hotels and stop for a drink at the beach club.

Tulum beach is all public, there is no private beach in the area, however access is sometimes blocked by a hotel or residential property. However, most of the little cabanas in Tulum don’t mind if you pass by to get to the beach, especially if you stop for something to eat or drink.

For the more adventurous there are beaches around Tulum that can be accessed through the jungle and you will find yourself completely alone, however I recommend that if you don’t know the area that you stay on the beaches for the cabanas, they are never busy as in Cancun or Playa del Carmen.

If you are in or around Tulum beach, stop by here, you definitely won’t regret it.
