Playa Chemuyil
Playa Chemuyil is a beach in Tulum on Mexico's Caribbean coast. The water is turquoise and shallow, with fine sand and rock formations that create small natural pools.
The beach was long a quiet spot for local fishermen and remained largely unknown to tourists. In recent years the area has developed while staying less commercial than nearby beaches.
The beach is reached by an unpaved road that provides access to parking areas. The water is typically calm, making it suitable for swimmers of different abilities.
In certain spots, rock formations create natural basins that resemble small bathtubs and are accessible during low tide. These hidden pools offer a quiet alternative to more crowded areas nearby.
