Photo of Tulum Beach at Mayan Ruins on Mexico's Mayan Riviera

The Maya ruins at Tulum sit on a beautiful beach on Mexico's Mayan Riviera on the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. It was once known as Zama (dawn) because, being on the far eastern edge of Mexico, it was one of the first places in the country to see the dawn. Tulum was a commercial port that traded extensively throughout Central America and Central Mexico. It is now a popular tourist destination, in party because it sits on beautiful Caribbean beaches.
