Tips for Family

Choose your Side of the Beach

The northern area of ​​the beach (near Playa Paraíso) is quieter and more public. The southern area is where the most exclusive and fashionable hotels, restaurants and beach clubs are located.

Look for Lesser Known Cenotes

While Gran Cenote and Dos Ojos are impressive, they are often crowded. Research smaller, less touristy cenotes for a more intimate experience.

Dress for the Occasion

The dress code is 'boho-chic'. Think linen, cotton, hats and sandals. It's relaxed but stylish.

Respect the Environment

Tulum prides itself on its ecological conscience. Don't leave litter, use biodegradable sunscreen, and support businesses that practice sustainability.

BIODEGRADABLE Sunscreen

It is a requirement to enter most cenotes and the Sian Ka'an Reserve to protect the fragile aquatic ecosystem.

The Heat and Humidity are Intense

Drink plenty of water, seek shade during peak sun hours, and wear light, breathable clothing.

Be careful on the Beach Road at Night

The beach road is dark and narrow. Avoid walking or cycling alone at night. Taxis are the safest option.

Cash and ATMs

Many places, especially on the beach, are cash only. Use the automatic teller machines (ATM) that are inside supermarkets or banks in town; Those on the beach are known for having high commissions and cloning risk.
