Tulum, Q.R. — The Secretary of Tourism of the Government of Mexico says agreements have been reached for beach and Jaguar park access. Tourism Secretary Josefina Rodríguez Zamora, has announced the opening of new public and free access points to the beaches of Tulum.
Secretary Rodríguez Zamora highlighted that these entry points are part of the first agreements of the Strategic Actions Coordination Committee for Tulum based on the premise that beaches are a public good and should not be privatized.
She reported that both sides have agreed to the opening of public access points in the Jaguar Park and two additional access points in the Tulum hotel zone
She said as a result of ongoing meetings, a unified fee has also been established for national and international tourists who visit the Jaguar Park, the Archaeological Zone and the Protected Natural Area.
The southern access point for visiting the beaches is already open, while the “traditional” access will be ready in the coming days, she said. These actions are being taken in compliance with the instruction of President Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo, to meet the demand from visitors for free access to Tulum beaches while respecting the rules of the protected natural area.
It is also been reported that two new public access points to the beaches of Tulum are now available. Both are located in the Tulum hotel zone on Playas Conchita and Del Pueblo at kilometers 4.5 and 5.5, respectively.
“The opening of these access points is in compliance with the mandate given during the People’s Conference on October 8, and after a series of visits, tours and working meetings in Tulum and Mexico City between federal, state and municipal authorities and tourism providers,” she reported.
“The goal is to guarantee that access to the beaches is free and open to all, for both nationals and foreigners, every day of the year; in addition, to ensuring that the development of the destination is sustainable for the benefit of the community and those who visit this protected natural area,” said Rodríguez Zamora.
Additionally, a unified pricing structure was established for visitors to Jaguar Park and the Tulum Archaeological Zone. These rates will be in effect from mid-November through the end of December, Monday through Saturday with one rate for Mexican nationals and another for foreign visitors.
It was determined that a similar measure will be implemented in 2026.
On Sundays, admission to the Archaeological Zone remains at a fee of 60 pesos for Mexican nationals and 220 pesos for foreigners. Those who only wish to enjoy the experiences at Jaguar Park can do so free of charge that day.
These options comply with the regulations of the Protected Natural Area regarding specific schedules and will be available at any of the three entrances to the Jaguar Park.
These include the north where the CATVI is located, the central or traditional entrance and the south. Between these last two access points, a corridor will be enabled for sports and recreational activities that will be public and free for nationals and foreigners.
The agreements reached at the Working Group meeting reaffirmed that Tulum residents will continue to have free and open access to the Protected Natural Area year-round, as has been the case since its opening, with the opportunity to enjoy the experiences and services offered by Jaguar Park.
It was also reiterated that no visitor will be charged for beach access at any time of year.
Secretary Rodríguez Zamora said these results are part of the working groups involving 14 federal government agencies, the Mundo Maya Group, the Government of the State of Quintana Roo and the Municipal Government of Tulum.
“These groups defined the key areas of the comprehensive strategy for Tulum: tourism dynamics, tourism regulation, urban and environmental management, infrastructure and urban development, tourism promotion and monitoring of prices and rates for the public,” she added.
