Tulum’s Most Awesome Excursions: Caribbean Beaches and Idyllic Cenotes

Playa Ruinas is considered by many to be Tulum's most spectacular beach. Swimming in its clear turquoise waters below the clifftop ruins is an unforgettable experience. Las Palmas Beach and Paradise Beach are also close to Tulum. Lush jungle-fringed sinkholes called cenotes, once used by the Mayans for religious ceremonies, are popular spots for swimming and snorkelling. Gran Cenote, approximately 5km from town, is popular with cave divers.
