Cleanup & barriers

Offshore barriers: Floating sargassum barriers deployed by Mexican Navy (SEMAR) and state along exposed Caribbean stretches; north Gulf-facing shore rarely needs them.
Public cleanup: SEMAR sargassum-collection vessels offshore; ZOFEMAT municipal crews on public beaches.
Resort crews: Large resorts run their own barrier/rake crews at dawn.
Typical clearing time: same-day

Safety notes

US State Dept: Quintana Roo, Level 2 (exercise increased caution)

Caribbean-facing Hotel Zone beaches have strong surf; north-facing Playa Norte/Gulf side calmer.
Use authorized taxis; stay in tourist zones at night.

Check official advisories and local flags before swimming. Decomposing sargassum releases hydrogen sulfide; avoid heavy piles.
