Sargassum season at Hotel La Joya
Low sargassum risk year-round at Hotel La Joya: even around July, the usual peak, Veabird estimates moderate or heavier seaweed on the beach in about 23% of weeks. Actual landings vary a lot by year, wind and currents; check the live conditions above.
Estimated share of weeks in each month with moderate or heavier seaweed on the beach. Veabird takes the landing season seen on Quintana Roo's beaches (a Puerto Morelos beach camera, 2015–2020, and the Mexican Navy's beach alerts, 2022–2026) and scales it by how often NOAA AOML satellites see notable seaweed within about 20 km of this stretch of coast: 18% of weeks here on average, against 54% off Quintana Roo, so 34% of that season. The satellite share (2016–2024, the top fifth of all coast-weeks, adjusted for this beach's exposure of 11%) measures seaweed offshore, not on the sand: off the Riviera Maya it reads high even in winter, when little lands. Very low under 10%, Low 10–24%, Moderate 25–44%, High 45–69%, Very high 70%+. Beach faces 241°; onshore winds from that direction push seaweed ashore. The satellite record as open data.

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.
