More Beaches for Everyone: 15 New Public Access Points and Their Impact on Property Value

In Tulum, access to the sea has always been more than an infrastructure issue — it’s part of the town’s identity and the very essence that drives its growth.

That’s why the recent opening of 15 new public beach access points, agreed upon by local authorities and tourism entrepreneurs, marks a profound shift not only for visitors but also for investors betting on the destination’s future.

A Step Toward Openness and Trust

For years, limited coastal access caused tension between local residents, private developers, and new tourism projects.

The agreement announced in October 2025 establishes collaboration between the municipality, the federal government, and more than a dozen hotels and beach clubs that will open direct passages to the sea — guaranteeing the constitutional right to free beach access.

This initiative reinforces the idea that real estate development and sustainable tourism can coexist. From a market standpoint, it strengthens Tulum’s image as a destination with clear rules and a genuine commitment to the community.

The Impact on Property Value

Opening public beach access points has a direct effect on the appreciation of nearby real estate.

In high-value coastal cities such as Playa del Carmen or Cancún, studies show that properties located within one kilometer of public beach access tend to increase in value by 8% to 15% per year, driven by accessibility, tourist flow, and commercial visibility.

In Tulum, this effect could be even more pronounced.

The new access points benefit not only hotel complexes but also emerging residential areas in Regions 8, 10, and 15, where infrastructure and urban services are being strengthened with new roads, lighting, and local transportation.

More Opportunities for Investors

Balancing conservation and accessibility creates a new kind of appeal for those investing in fractional or full-ownership properties.

Projects strategically located near these access points not only promise stronger tourism performance but also foster a sense of legal and urban security—the confidence that Tulum’s development model is evolving toward a more inclusive and transparent framework.

For Corax Solutions, these measures reaffirm the value of investing in long-term, sustainable developments, where appreciation isn’t measured solely in square meters but also in environmental quality, connectivity, and livability.

A More Connected Riviera, a Stronger Future

The opening of these access points comes at a pivotal time: Tulum was recognized in 2025 as “Mexico and Central America’s Leading Romantic Destination” by the World Travel Awards.

This recognition shows that despite the challenges of growth, Tulum continues to preserve its charm and global appeal.

With improved beach access, greater transparency in urban planning, and a focus on sustainability, Tulum is solidifying its reputation as an evolving Riviera — a place where investing continues to mean vision, balance, and purpose.
