Playa Paraiso, Tulum, Caribbean beach in Tulum, Mexico
Description
Playa Paraiso is a beach in Tulum featuring soft white sand and turquoise water that stretches along a shoreline framed by palm trees and limestone cliffs. The bay forms a natural lagoon that creates sheltered swimming areas with gentle water movement.
History
The beach was originally a remote coastal stretch that gradually developed as a swimming destination over recent decades. Its proximity to the ancient Mayan archaeological site shaped its growth and connected the location to the region's heritage.
Culture
Local fishermen maintain traditional fishing practices at sunrise, while artisans display handmade crafts and textiles along the shoreline throughout the day.
Practical
The beach offers lounge chairs and umbrellas for rent at several spots, with restrooms and changing areas in beach clubs. Visitors should seek shade during the hottest hours and bring sun protection.
Did you know?
The beach maintains a natural sand bar that creates two distinct swimming zones, allowing both shallow paddling and deeper swimming experiences within the same area.
