I was disappointed to find out that the beach was closed during my visit in December 2022.

This beach is absolutely lovely and definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in Tulum. It's not just a beach, but also features an archaeological zone which adds to the overall experience. Be sure to bring your swimsuit as swimming here is a must-do activity.
