Live Tulum beach cam & seaweed check
Watch Tulum in real time, then cross-check today’s rating below. Cams are the fastest way to see actual sand conditions before you commit to a beach day.
What to look for on the cam
- Brown lines at the waterline — fresh sargassum landing. Worse after onshore wind.
- Water colour — turquoise is clear; murky brown-green near shore means seaweed offshore.
- Time of day — check mornings. Crews often clear resort beaches by mid-morning, but new mats can arrive by afternoon.
- Empty vs busy sand — raked, groomed sand with sunbeds usually means an actively maintained (cleaner) beach.

Where to stay in Tulum
Beachfront picks chosen for beach position and seaweed-cleanup reputation.
Be Tulum
Design-forward beachfront resort with one of the strongest sargassum-cleanup reputations in Tulum; crews groom its beach section continuously through the season.
Casa Malca
Art-filled beachfront mansion on a quieter southern stretch; the hotel rakes its frontage daily and even runs the beach webcam many travelers use to check conditions.
La Zebra
Well-known boutique hotel on a wide central beach section with daily seaweed removal and a popular beach club; a solid mid-upper option when arrivals are moderate.
Zamas
Long-running rustic cabana hotel on the rocky Punta Piedra point; one of the more affordable ways to stay on the sand, though its cove can trap seaweed during heavy pulses.
