  • U know what shut up lady. It's because it's abandoned and for Ur info it's Mexico and I had a fricking awesome time. p.s. I was there and that's not where the hotel is.

  • Rain and Hurricanes spill out trash from far inland, people in the town that won't dispose properly their trash, are contributing to this. since they don't secure the trash, weather brings it to the ocean through rivers of Central America, or streets of Cancun.

  • Now this happens normally all over the world, in any beach that is not taken care by humans. Any beach of the world that has no park rangers, hotel slaves, volunteers, or beach front home maids, or government trash men cleaning it regularly will be as dirty as this beach, unless it is so remotely far from civilization, I'm thinking some beaches in Patagonia, Antartica, some parts of Asia.

  • This trash comes from different sources:

    1.- People that visit the beach and leaves it there is one, but the least in quantity.

    2.-Most of it is brought by the action of surf and currents, some times from very far away, like the gulf of Honduras, Cuba, and obviously Cozumel and the trash that is generated in the coast itself accidentally spilled at Tulum and Playa del Carmen and Cancun, but returns to the coast for the same reason.

    3.-older trash is buried in the sand, many times uncovered surf.
