the seaweed in tulum is it a problem will it ruin my beach experience let's find out today coming up
and if you're new here i'm christine with where in the world is CL and i make travel
videos every week till we get up and go travel so if you like to travel consider subscribing i've
spent the last week on tulum beach i'm actually staying at coco hotel info in the description
below if you want to see that video but i'm gonna be honest it's a different tulum experience when
the seaweed is here so let's talk about it ooh something's about to happen get exciting
wow tulum beach is filled with seaweed this does not even look anything like
the last time i was here wow so in today's video i'm going to be sharing with you literally what
it's like on the beach right now and showing you um what it looks like versus what it looked like
the last time i was here and uh all right we're gonna experience this together guys but don't
forget if you're looking for more resources understanding what it will be like when you're
specifically here understanding the things you can look at to plan ahead make sure you check
out my other tulum seaweed video that has all the info on that for you one of the top things
that people ask is can i still swim in the beach and absolutely you can still go in the water i've
seen people in the water a lot not nearly the same amount of people as the last time i was
here but there is a guy that went out and had his hydrofoil just the other day i see people
swimming at the beach but depending on which part of towing beach you're on for example you
can see here at coco the guys are working so hard they are raking the seaweed all day long
and they are bringing it out in wheelbarrows to get it off of the beach and it might not seem like
it's doing anything i mean it just keeps coming in but when you actually look at it through my
drone you can see it makes a humongous difference that they are doing this literally all day long
so you definitely can still swim at the beach yes in parts where they're not raking it it'll
be hard to get into the water because you're gonna have to wade through so much seaweed but
in places where they are raking it it is easier to get into the water which by the way if you're
getting some value out of this video cheers that like button consider subscribing and tell me in
the comments below if you have experience tooling peach with or without seaweed i would love to know
i'm not gonna lie it smells so when the seaweed comes up and it's been sitting in the sun for a
long time this is pretty fresh because they have been raking it but let's walk down the
beach a little bit to where it's not as fresh but it comes up and then it just rots it will
rot and it smells pretty bad and when you're walking over it or when you're swimming over it
it's itchy i was taking drone shots this morning and i was walking on the beach and i was walking
through some of the seaweed and caveat i have allergies i have eczema i have sensitive skin
my feet were insanely itchy this morning um i'm feeling better now i wash them really
well but i don't know not everyone has sensitive skin i'm sure you'll be fine
that smells the flies are pretty intense i will say that walking over the seaweed with
all the flies on it it's kind of intense another helpful thing to know is that the beach hotels
they do not change their rates they do not change their rates during this time it's not cheaper
uh it's same price you'll pay with or without the seaweed another important
thing to know is that this is why i love tulum the beach is awesome but it is absolutely not
the only experience you can have there are so many adventures to be had around tulum
and to be honest i'm spending almost zero time on the beach and i've been adventuring
in other places so make sure you check out my other videos links in the description below but
beach is awesome but it's not your only option that pile's been sitting there for a little while
uh stanky i do want to share one story which is um i met up with some of my friends friends
here at coco and we were having some drinks and one of the guys who was there was like i'm gonna
go you know i'm gonna go touch the water i'm gonna go check it out and when he came back i was like
how was it you know kind of saying like oh he's gonna say it was terrible when he came back he
was like oh it's so beautiful it's amazing and you know what he's never been a tulum before he
doesn't know what it looks like normally and he lives in bogota where it does it's not like this
and so yeah if you've never experienced tulum when it's normal this can still be
a very beautiful experience i don't know where else you have traveled to right maybe you are
like me and you just got back from hawaii and zanzibar the other day or you could be like
my friends and never have experienced anything like this and think it's the most amazing thing
because tomo beach really is amazing i mean look at the color of the sand beautiful i'm christine
