The beach is gorgeous. The cycle was actually lovely as well.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Rent a bike to explore Tulum, as it's the best way to get around.
Bring cash for entrance fees and rentals, as some places may not accept cards.
Use lockers at the ruins to store belongings, as plastic bottles are not allowed.
Be prepared for hot weather and bring water, as there is little shade.
Access the beach via the public entrance to avoid paying beach club fees.
