1. Playa Paraiso
If you need one reason why Tulum became such the world-renowned beach icon that it is today, take a look at Playa Paraiso. This unbelievable stretch of bone-white sand extends down the coastline, backed by brilliantly blue water and a row of languidly swaying palms.
2. Playa Ruinas
Not to be outdone, Playa Ruinas is another one of the top beaches in Tulum that put the destination in the spotlight. Success is baked right in when you have some of Mexico’s most beautiful and historic Mayan ruins on a cliff overlooking the beach below.
