Tulum, a popular resort town on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico’ s Yucatán Peninsula, famous for its stunning white - sand beaches, tuequoise waters, eco - chic vibe, and the well - preserved iconic clifftop Mayan ruins overlooking the sea, will have new accesses to its beaches as announced by the Ministry of Tourism (Sectur).
This initiative as part of the strategy “Tulum Reborn” enhances public access to Tulum’s coastline by establishing new access points to beaches, emphasizing that beach access is a right rather than a privilege.
In addition, this move includes improved access through the Parque Nacional del Jaguar, a national park and conservation area of almost 2.913 hectares inaugurated in December 2024 to protect local ecosystem, a space with first - class infrastructure that combines conservation, recreation and tourism, and two new points in the hotel zone, aiming to promote tourism and improve public, non - restricted access.
Mexico’s Secretary of Tourism (Sectur), Josefina Rodríguez Zamora, announced the upcoming inauguration of these new access points, as part of a comprehensive strategy to guarantee the right to free enjoyment of the beaches and diversify the destination’s tourism offer, thus reducing the effects of seasonality.
The Secretary of Sectur stressed that the opening of beaches has been a priority within the tourism development plan for the Mexixan Caribbean and pointing out that Tulum currently has other seven new public accesses, alongside these 4 new accesses, all located within the Parque Nacional del Jaguar.
The official stressed that these accesses are accompanied by adequate signage and spaces such as the sport corridor, which allows both tourists and residents to enjoy free recreational activities and proximity to the sea.
The Secretary of Tourism also reported a permanent dialogue is maintained with hoteliers to continue enabling public accesses in the hotel strip, in accordance with federal decrees that establish the passage of easements when there are not enough public accesses.
In addition the head of Sectur recalled that Mexico began in Tulum the first national registry of public access to the beach, reaffirming that access to the coast is a right for everyone highlighting that beaches are not a privilege, they are a right.
Key details regarding the new, free public access points include:
• Parque Nacional del Jaguar (Jaguar National Park): Three official access points such as North/CATVI, Traditional/Central, and South allow free access to beaches including El Mangle, Maya, Santa Fe, and Pescadores, with the park opened 365 days a year.
• Hotel Zone: Two new, dedicated public beach accesses have been added in the hotel zone at Playa Conchitas and Playa El Pueblo, located around kilometre 4.5 – 5.5 of the Tulum – Boca Paila road.
• Purpose: This initiative, part of the “Tulum Reborn “strategy, seek to combat restricted access, allowing locals and visitors free entry to the beaches without requiring purchases at beach clubs.
These efforts are part of a broader, coordinated strategy to improve infrastructure and provide more options for visiting the Caribbean coast in Tulum.
