Tulum National Park
I recommend hitting the park right when it opens at 8 AM. The crowds are way less, and you can enjoy the views without all the selfies blocking your way!
I think you should wear comfy shoes. There’s a lot of walking and some uneven paths, so don’t ruin your day with blisters!
I suggest checking out the lesser-known ruins first before the main ones. They’re just as beautiful but with a lot fewer people. You’ll get some amazing pics!
My advice is to bring your own water and snacks. The prices inside the park can be a bit steep, so save some cash by packing your own.
Laguna De Kaan Luum
Pescadores Beach
Don't miss the sunrise! I recommend getting there by 6:30 AM for the most breathtaking views and to avoid the crowds from tours. It's such a peaceful time to enjoy the beach
Check the seaweed situation before you go. I went in July and the beach had a lot of it. It didn't ruin my fun, but I wish I'd known in advance! September is usually better for that, tho.
Gran Cenote
Tulum Beach
Check out the beach clubs for loungers and good food, but be aware they often have a min spend requirement. I found one spot where a few beach chairs cost me less than a full meal elsewhere. Happy hour deals are a thing, so look for those!
If you’re into snorkeling, take the short trip to Akumal. You can see sea turtles for free (but a guided tour is great if you want to swim with them without worrying).
Cenote Zacil-Ha
Bring your own snacks and drinks! The onsite options are limited and kinda pricey. I regretted not packing a picnic when I saw the prices.
Las Palmas Public Beach
If you plan to rent a sunbed, get there around 8 AM to snag the best spots before the crowds roll in. Trust me, I learned the hard way.
Don’t forget to bring cash! Many beachside eateries only take pesos, and having small bills helps with buying snacks or drinks without overpaying
Cenote Calavera
Cenote Taak Bi Ha
Paradise Beach
My advice is to bring your own snacks and drinks as the beach bar prices can be high. I saved a ton by packing a cooler.
I recommend using cash for small purchases to avoid credit card fees at some places. You don’t want to get hit with unexpected charges!
