Yeah I know right? I’ve never been there but I’ve heard that’s where most of the plastic that ends up in the ocean originates. Still, I’ve also heard it’s a safe beach to swim in. No lifeguards needed, everyone has their own personal floatation devices. 🥴

There may be more than one beach. I've only been to the one that's right off the ruins, and it's nice, just not very big. I doubt that's where the plastic is coming from. Yeah, reading a little bit about it, sounds like it's not the Tulum I remember. I was there in 1996 and then again in 2012. Sounds like there's been quite a bit of development since then.
A similar thing happened to Playa Del Carmen up the road (not so much in the trash department, but as far as development goes). While I'm okay with progress, not all of it is necessarily for the best.
I think it's just the fashionable place for the plastic fantastics to go and be photographed. It'll wear off and they'll find somewhere else to take their selfies.
