The 2nd largest coral reef in the world, located 300 meters distance from the beach shore.

If you wish to enjoy the beach in Tulum, we recommend going to a beach club and using their premises. This time of year there will likely be Sargassum on the beaches and beach clubs will be maintaining their beach regularly offering you a better experience.
- One of our favorites is Posada Margherita, a beach club with a great Italian restaurant. No reservations are required.
This is a recommendation; no arrangements have been made by scenset.
