Playa Ruinas

Playa Ruinas in Tulum is a breathtaking beach where history meets nature. Nestled beneath the ancient Mayan ruins, this spot offers stunning views of the Caribbean Sea and soft white sands. It’s a unique place to relax after exploring the archaeological site above. A must-visit for anyone traveling to Tulum! Arrive early to avoid crowds and the midday heat and get comfortable walking shoes!

Costs $400 mxn pesos to enter park and then another $100 mxn pesos to enter ruins. Worth it to spend the entire day there. Pack a lunch (can’t take any single use plastic in including water bottles). Beaches are beautiful!!!

Very nice park and ruins, worth 5 stars. However the price, communication and how to get there are very confusing. Be aware that you first need to pay 415 pesos to enter the jaguar park. Also Plastic bottles are not allowed, so bring sustainable bottles. Then you walk a bit to go to the entrance of the ruins; pay another 100 pesos. The ruins are nice and have a good view over the ocean (but not worth 25 euros a person). One advantage is that you have access to an amazing 'free' beach. I would say; visit the ruins and then just chill on the beach to make it worth the 25 euros.

We wanted to go there from the ruines, but it was closed and it looked dirty also. They took us by mini “bus” for free (the entrance fee to the reservatum contained it) to other beaches so it was good finally to visit nice beaches also after the ruins. If it would be open and cleaned it would be 5 stars!

Playa Ruinas at Tulum is a breathtaking fusion of natural beauty and historical intrigue. Nestled below the iconic cliffside Mayan ruins, this beach offers turquoise waters and soft white sand, creating a serene escape. Visitors can marvel at El Castillo towering above while enjoying a swim or sunbathe. Perfect for photography, history lovers, and beach enthusiasts, it combines a cultural journey with coastal tranquility. Early visits ensure quieter moments in this stunning paradise.

This beautiful beach is free and offers a relaxing and calm space that’s definitely worth the visit. While it’s a bit further from La Valeta if you’re walking, the stunning beauty of the beach makes the trip worthwhile. Plus, it’s not crowded, which is a plus.

Stunning Historical site,well kept, lovely views and walks .Mexico's pride and Joy ,if you are going visit independently, it's a lot cheaper than the organised tour companies, and you can get your own tour guides at a fraction of the cost, if booking with the Tour companies, you will see a vast difference in price ,we'll worth looking into this situation.

BE CAREFUL - SCAMMERS AT TICKET DESK. They tried to sell you normal tickets together with private tour (2,800 per person!!!) or with snorkeling with turtles and to see from the sea a part of ruins which are not visible elsewhere (as they claim so) for 1,350! We actually went for this snorkeling and it was disaster!!! 1. They lied about some hidden part from the sea. 2. Snorkeling is really chaotic and not organized.
