5. Playa Santa Fe
Back over in Tulum proper, Playa Santa Fe is another beach along the main stretch, not far from Playa Paraiso and Playa Pescadores. The beach is about half a mile down from the Tulum ruins and is outfitted with bathrooms and showers, making it one of the more comfortable and convenient beaches in Tulum. That means it’s one of the more crowded beaches, but beachgoers never seem to mind the crowds in exchange for the gorgeous views.
6. Playa Las Palmas
Adjacent to Playa Pescadores sits Playa Las Palmas, the last beach on the stretch of prime Tulum beachfront real estate. This relatively quiet beach has a rocky outcrop to the far right and nothing but silky soft sand to the left. If you keep walking up from Playa Las Palmas, you’ll pass other beaches like Playa Pescadores, Playa Santa Fe, and Playa Paraiso.
