The Beach at the Tulum Ruins
The Mayan Ruins of Tulum are already spectacular, but then you peak over the cliffs at one of the most beautiful beaches ever seen! I guess there is no wonder as to why the Mayans chose this spot for their city. Be sure to pack your swimsuit and some towels (maybe some snacks) for your visit to the Tulum Ruins because the beach below the ruins is not to be missed.
Take your time exploring the ruins that is the remnants of one of the last cities built by the great Mayan civilization. Then walk down the staircase to the beach to swim in the warm, turquoise water of the Carribean sea and lounge in the white sand.

Don't miss going a little farther south to Boca Paila, where you can walk for miles on silky white sands with no crowds and stop along the way for a cold modelo at a number of quirky open air beach bars. Just pull up a tree trunk stool, or even a rustic swing for a seat & refresh yourself while gazing at the most beautiful turquoise sea imagineable!
Gorgeous...absolutely gorgeous!
One of my favorite places in the world!!
