Great news for beach lovers! The stunning Playa Mangle in Tulum is now officially a public beach again, thanks to a decisive move by the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas (CONANP).
This victory means that both locals and tourists can now enjoy one of Tulum’s most beautiful coastlines without any charge. This is a crucial step for Tulum public beaches and a win for sustainable tourism in Tulum.
A Victory for Public Access in Tulum
For a while, many of Tulum’s most spectacular spots were becoming difficult to access due to private development. This made it hard for people to simply enjoy the natural beauty that makes Tulum so special. The restoration of access to Playa Mangle sets a strong precedent that Tulum’s beaches are a shared resource. This action proves that authorities are committed to protecting these areas for everyone’s enjoyment, preserving the unique character of Tulum’s ecotourism.
How to Visit the New Playa Mangle Public Access
The public entrance to Playa Mangle is now located exclusively through the new Parque del Jaguar. This designated path allows you to walk right onto the beach. This makes it easy for anyone to find and enjoy this wonderful spot. If you’re looking for a free beach in Tulum, the new Playa Mangle access is the perfect option.

We believe that this decision marks an important step toward a more equitable and sustainable future for this beautiful region. When you visit, remember to respect the natural environment. Enjoy the beach, and know that you are part of a community that values and protects these precious spaces.
