7. Playa Akumal
North of Tulum, you’ll find a smaller pueblo that, in the last few years, has skyrocketed to popularity. Akumal is home to five beautiful blue bays that for centuries have been known to harbor sea turtles, especially when it comes time to lay their eggs. In fact, the beaches of Akumal are among the best spots in Mexico to swim with the sea turtles that return every year.
8. Playa Kantenah
The best part about Playa Kantenah is that it is right in front of one of the best all-inclusive resorts in the Riviera Maya — UNICO 20°87° Hotel Riviera Maya. So if you book a stay at this fabulous all-inclusive resort, you’ll have direct access to one of the best beaches in Tulum.
