Where is the Follow That Dream Sign in Tulum?

The Follow That Dream Sign is located on Tulum Beach Road. It's easy to find - just look for the large, green sign! Below I've pinned the exact location of the sign to help you find it.

But, basically, you'll want to head to Lolita & Lolita Boutique, where you will see the sign right out the front. This is in a popular beachside area near many of the popular Tulum beach clubs like Ziggies and Mía.

The best way to explore all the great spots in Tulum is to rent a bike or car. You can pick up a bicycle almost anywhere in Tulum for between 130-150 MXN per day.

If you'd prefer to explore more of the region and check out must-see attractions like Chichén Itzá and the incredible Cenotes, then I'd suggest renting a car. I always use Discover Cars in Mexico as it avoids needing to deal with scammers and ensures you get a fair price.

Hi Gaspar, how are you?

I wanted to reach out and ask if it's possible to update my location and the information about my business for the Follow That Dream brand on the beach road.

That location was my house for over a decade, and I built it into what it became- a must-visit spot- by creating something special. The beach road in Tulum doesn't have basic services like electricity, Sio I worked hard to bring light, water and energy to the space. I flattened the street, as it was originally a fisherman's road before becoming the tourist and hotel destination it is today.

I moved to town for security reasons and to make it easier for people to access without the dangers of cars passing by. Now, my location reflects a new chapter. It is an Integral Concept of Beauty where fashion, beauty and food come together.

I started with my grandmother's formulas, creating shampoos and hotel amenities, and as the youngest entrepreneur in Tulum, I introduces unraveled cotton fashion. Over the years, I evolved the brand, and now it includes food! I opened a Tex-Mex food stall on the street 30 days ago, while the store offering fashion and beauty is upstairs.

It would mean so much to have the updated information reflectes, as I haven't been on the beach road for two years now. Thank you so much for your help, and I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Regards,

Lolita
