If you look out at the water instead of the development behind you this place is breathtaking. Such amazing colors!

One of the wonders of the world
Oct 2021
See it while you can. This used to be something truly spectacular and development takes it away bit by bit. I don't know what we're going to hand down to the next generation but nothing too great. This is still a wonder to see and unlike all of the fake spiritual garbage floating around in Tulum now marketing to Californians or whatever, sitting here for an afternoon with some water and and sandwich and letting that blue color seep into your brain can actually heal you at least for a day and it won't cost you anything.

Beautiful beach with many services at proximity. We traveled in September so there were many seaweeds at the border of the water and sand, but the beach is cleaned and the water is easily accessible. You can reach this area by car, motorcycle or bike. The sand is white and very soft!

Plenty of seaweed and brown water.
Jul 2021 • Friends
During this time of the year, the beach looks like absolute sh*t. There is plenty of seaweed lying around the shore stacked to heaps, which easily reach a meter in height. It also smells like rotten eggs. Right at the shore, it’s forbidden to swim, but you wouldn’t go in anyway because the water is a brown sauce. There are plenty of small boats, which take you a few hundred meters away from the coast where the water is blue and clear.

DISGUSTING egg-smelling algae EVERYWHERE
Jul 2021 • Couples
Shockingly disgusting, covered in enormous mounds of red algae smelling strongly of rotten eggs. There was so much it turned the water red and sludgy, and small bulldozers are being used to move it away into large mounds.

I'm sure it's nicer during other times of the year, but this was horrifying, and has completely ruined our trip, since all of the nearby beaches are in the same sorry state.

Just OK
May 2021 • Solo
Has beautiful sand but it isn't the "palm fringed" beach I expected. Difficult to get to but all of the public beaches in the area are: you have to travel down a narrow road with close vegetations...often only one car each way. If you drive go to the end of the road then u-turn and park on the side of the road. I didn't find it easy to find which beach was which. I know it is one of the first ones. My second trip I decided to just park at a beach club but the ones i found didnt open 'til 10

There are some palm trees that provide some shade but get there early. I thought I saw a sign that said no coolers but everyone had one. The seaweed barrier didnt extend to where I was sitting but the city did a great job cleaning up the beach early in the morning.

Overall it was nice, though. Again, beautiful sand and clean beach.

Playa Paraiso and Beach club
Sep 2020
A really nice beach located north of the Hotel Zone in Tulum. Parking is first-come-first-serve along a narrow beach lane so unless you show up early you'll probably need to pay around 100 MXN plus tip to a beach club attendant to be able to park. The beach itself is gorgeous and free to enter, if you choose there are chairs and sun loungers you can rent from a beach club, they are 100-200 pesos per day. Drinks are very reasonable, and tasty. The pina colada was the best I had in Quintana Roo. The water is nice though some sargasso is present and you'll notice it but it's not bad at all. The beach is swept of sargasso on regular basis, but you'll still notice some in the sand. Came back here for three days in a row, I guess we liked it.
