Mexico’s National Guard are patrolling the beaches of Tulum to boost tourist safety.
Armed troops have been patrolling beaches in the Tulum National Park since last week ahead of the spring break season.
Gabriel Bautista Tapia, Colonel Inspector of the National Guard said it is to ensure security and peace of mind for visitors.
There are foot and ATV patrols.
“The presence here is to preserve order, tranquility and the tourist safety,” he said.
There are about 50 National Guard personnel on Tulum beaches from Mezzanine to Santa Fe.
They have also increased their presence in Cancun and Los Cabos in recent weeks.
