Tulum Opens Four Public Beach Access Points for Visitors

Tulum, Mexico — During 2025, the municipality of Tulum historically completed the opening and rehabilitation of four public access points to its beaches, allowing free enjoyment of the coast for both residents and visitors.

These actions resulted from a coordination process among the three levels of government. It was driven by the city council led by Municipal President Diego Castañón Trejo, in response to a social demand pending for several years.

Interinstitutional Management and Citizen Demand

Federal, State, and Municipal Coordination

The process began in the middle of the year, following direct requests from municipal residents, which led to interinstitutional management work with federal agencies such as the Secretariat of Tourism and the Secretariat of National Defense, in addition to the State Government.

According to municipal authorities, these agreements allowed progress on a solution with social and economic impact, key for the tourist development of the destination.

Participation of Productive and Social Sectors

As part of the strategy, working groups were established and later expanded to include business owners, hoteliers, fishermen, tourism service providers, and civil associations.

The objective was to comprehensively address the issue of beach access and generate conditions of stability and certainty for tourism activity in Tulum.

Basic Services and Environmental Criteria

Rehabilitated Access Points with Sustainable Focus

Derived from these agreements, the rehabilitated public access points currently feature:

• Security
• Signage
• Waste separation
• Permanent cleaning

Additionally, three of the access points have bathrooms, and all actions were carried out under environmental protection criteria, with the goal of preserving the flora and fauna of the coastal zone.

Access Points Enabled During High Season

In the current high season, the access points are enabled through Jaguar Park, both via the traditional entrance of the archaeological zone and the southern access, allowing entry to five beaches within this stretch.

Additionally, the municipal government opened and rehabilitated two public access points in the coastal zone:

• Kilometer 4.5, at Conchita Beach
• Kilometer 5.5, at Pueblo Beach

Projection for 2026

More Services, Local Commerce, and Cultural Activities

Municipal authorities reported that for 2026, continuity of these actions is planned, with the expansion of services at public access points.

Additionally, spaces will be enabled for local commerce and the realization of cultural and social activities.

The goal is to strengthen the tourist experience and improve the quality of life for those who visit and inhabit Tulum, consolidating the destination as a reference for inclusive and sustainable tourism.
