Before you get to the main tourist dirt road where all those shops & beach clubs are, there's a road to the left you turn down that has a sign that says National Parque. Its public beach entrances.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Thanks for the tip :D, we went to that beach before but from a road next to the tulum ruins

[@anissadavis2011]

@@JumpingPlaces Yes, it's close to there....Just want you to know my husband (he's an attorney, so he's pretty critical) has watched many youtubers for travel info. He says you guys are one of the best. You don't focus on yourselves and you show the area, accommodations & give prices on everything. That's important when deciding where to travel to.

Mexico is beautiful. We’ve never stayed at a resort, tend to avoid those places because generally finding your own way result it the trip being way less expensive, supporting local business, and deeper cultural experiences. It’s difficult to fathom that the locals who were born, raised, and work there can’t have access to their own white sand beaches.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Yeah I was honestly shocked at how impossible it was to get on a public beach, sad for the locals for sure!

[@lolal3853]

@@JumpingPlaces I don't think you inform your self to well when you are in some places. And it looks like you are misinformed and that shows in your videos and it's also misinformation to your viewers. You missed many places in Tulum. You really don't explore much of the culture in Mexico. In that part of Mexico it would be the Mayan communities. The beaches in Mexico are not private and if they tell you that's incorrect. Just let the beach club know you are going to the beach that's all. Free access no fee.

[@JumpingPlaces]

@@lolal3853 We didn't miss anything actually, we did exactly the things that we wanted to do.

[@chepep0n]

Good news is that the current government has taken good measures (such as huge fines) to avoid hotels and resorts deniying beach acess to the locals. Some still do but those are less and less common.

[@antonboludo8886]

The two times I was in Tulum, in 1991 and 1992, this was not the case. The locals did have access to their own pristine beaches and coral reefs. I imagine that this is no longer the case?

[@anissadavis2011]

We were there in November....Playa Parisio is the best place to go. The most beautiful beach imo.

[@rainierr9356]

Its all the same beach. Playa Paraiso is just a particular beach club. But, youre right. That part of the beach is the best!

[@anissadavis2011]

@@rainierr9356 Yes, it's the best. If you're looking at the water and turn to the left, just about 75ft from Parariso is public access where we didn't have to pay. Got a massage then went on down to the beach and relaxed.😍

[@ByTheLake213]

Playa Paraiso is the name of the beach and it has a lot more public access then the hotel side. There are beach clubs there but there are a bunch of paths where you can go for free.

If you have the time to stay in Tulum rather than visiting on a day trip, then it's worth going. The ecological practices of Tulum's hotels are worth supporting, and staying on-site will allow visitors to beat the overwhelming crowds at the Mayan ruins.

[@alexandwhite]

You don't need to go to a beachclub to get access to the beach. When I was there October - November me and my friends would just go through the entrance of the beach club and straight to the beach. Don't talk to reception or anyone just walk straight through the restaurant and to the beach. However if you don't want to pay a lot of money I would recommend Akiin beach club it was our favorite spot for affordable drinks and food right on the beach!

[@LehWeGo868]

You guys are really humble and so chill... I appreciate you affordable thinking and your way of getting to enjoy these places. Question: have you even gotten questioned/stopped for using your drone?

[@tomboylan82]

Thanks for the reply, I was on that beach Wednesday morning, Jan 20th. Due to the somewhat stormy weather, there were only a few people there. For the first two days I stayed at an Air property in town across from the food market and taco stands. For the next three nights, I stayed at Barria Negro, which is a bit south of town. Nice place, great large pool and yard area, big modern rooms. Cost me @bout $50. Not many people there. The best part was its proximity across the street from Gypsea Market - an organic food store and wine shop. There was also a nice cafe bakery in this complex, a wine shop/cafe, and a work shared space called Digital Jungle. Also, a short bike ride away on 307 were two decent cenotes - Escondido and Christina.

Awesome video like always, there is 3 plubic access, you need to drive closest to the Tulum ruins, from the main road you have to turn left and you'll get totally free access to the beach 🏖️🌴🌊🤗

[@dancingwithnacos]

They do have entrances to public beaches, you just needed to know where they are. Mostly by the north side of the strip, closest to the ruins. As someone commented here, Playa Paraiso is one of the most well known public beaches in tulum

[@JumpingPlaces]

Hey there, cheers. Yeah we have been to that beach on our previous trip. Just wanted to check out some different public beaches, but by not having any public access they have made them pretty much private

3:44 to 3:47 --> beautiful rays of light shining down on a beautiful lady: An awesome videoclip! Congratulations.

[@tomboylan82]

Memories. I hung out at that first beach you visited and had breakfast across the street from where you parked your bicycles, just a few short weeks ago. I relaxed on the chaise lounges where you entered and no one bothered me though the weather was a little bit stormy that morning. The prices near there were at times astronomical so stayed in AIR BnB place in the town and rode a rental bike down to beach.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Might have been around the same time as this video then? We filmed this about 2/3 weeks ago now. We also stayed in town in a place that we showed in the previous video because of the super high prices near the beaches.

[@Gary_and_Linda]

You will love Oaxaca, hope you spend some time in Huatulco! Beach access is free in Huatulco and taxi prices are fair!

There's a great public beach towards the main ruins.

[@JumpingPlaces]

Yeah we went to that one 2 years ago, playa Paraiso. This one is also public, just no public access lol

[@sbkpilot1]

I was thinking why would you need to take a shower but then I saw the clarity of that water, damn!! looks clear enough to drink it 😀

[@JumpingPlaces]

Yeah its also to make sure people dont have sun tan lotion on since its not allowed so that we don't pollute the water. The clarity was nuts! Never seen light rays like there ever before anywhere

[@dougrock8519]

Excellent video! You're right, Tulum IS expensive and they have made it more difficult to reach the public beaches there. I don't believe you made it to the main public beach though, Playa Paraiso.. it's really nice and far less 'bourgeois' than the main hotel zone. Oh, Playa Del Carmen is also another place that also has excellent access to public beaches, its one of the best things about that overly-touristic city (I know, I lived there for four years). Looking forward to your continuing Mexican travels!

[@lolal3853]

The beaches in Mexico are not private and if they tell you that's incorrect. Just let the beach club know you are going to the beach that's all. Free access no fee.

[@dougrock8519]

@@lolal3853 of course you're correct but as we saw in that video, some resorts will try to break that rule like the security guard who asked them to leave what in fact is a public beach. Soliman Bay near Tulum is also a secured community with a guard at the end of the road who won't give access to people that aren't staying in the beautiful villas there as well, I'm sure that's not legal either. It's too bad that some resorts try to kick the public off of the beach, you're right, they're free for all

[@JumpingPlaces]

@@dougrock8519 Yeah she keeps saying I am incorrect in many comments lol, even though in the video I clearly said that I knew they were all Public.... I never said they are private beaches. But as a tourist if you visit a place and they wont let you in without paying what can you do? Sure you can bring up the law but why should a tourist have to do that to get to a beach? As you mentioned in your example some definitely wont let you through.

[@EdCNJ]

Awesome cenote and the beach is beautiful as well. It’s like a catch 22 with certain beaches. I’m not a huge fan of paying to visit a beach myself but in a way it prevents it from getting over crowded but on the other hand the resorts reap the benefits in revenue. It’s like that here in New Jersey as well. This is why I love visiting Aruba, all the beaches are public. Great video nonetheless 👍🏻 #jumpingplaces #mexico #tulum

[@JumpingPlaces]

Yeah I think the biggest issue is it basically removes all the locals that actually live there, since they wont be paying no crazy prices like that. We really need to check out Aruba, on our list!

[@EdCNJ]

@@JumpingPlaces I’m sure your list of places to visit is long but you two would love Aruba. Great beaches, awesome restaurants, pretty good snorkeling, and lots of things to see and do. It can be pricey but there tons of Air BnB options and local food spots. Traveling around the island is really simple if you rent a car. The island is small and you can literally see all the major attractions in a day or two. Continue to enjoy your adventure planning and stay safe!!!
