Entry Points For Tulum Beaches To Be Renovated For Easier Access & Safety

It was announced earlier this week that the municipality of Tulum will be getting a big investment from the Mexican federal government in order to build better infrastructure and improve access to some of the most protected areas in Tulum, which will include a number of the city’s beaches.

Once pegged as “hidden gems,” Tulum’s beaches and coastal attractions routinely welcome busloads of tourists from near and far just looking for that piece of paradise. If you’re familiar with Tulum at all, you’ll know that a number of beaches are much harder to access than others. You could visit for weeks and still be on the hunt for that perfect beach that’s within walking distance to your hotel but also pristine. Well, that is set to change in the coming year.

An official for the Mexican government’s Secretary of Agrarian, Territorial and Urban Development (referred to as Sedatu) made the announcement that they would be investing one billion pesos (approximately 50 million USD) to make improvements in infrastructure and accessibility to beaches along what’s known as the Tulum Jaguar National Park. The announcement was made by Ernesto Pavón Gutiérrez, representing the Quintana Roo branch of Sedatu.

According to the statements, the renovations will include opening eight different beach access pathways to help tourists better access Tulum’s coastline. This will be to beaches located between the entrance of Tulum and along the Tulum Archeological Zone.
