'The beach smells of boiled eggs and farts'

Outside Source

Available for over a year

An infestation of a seaweed-like algae is impacting some of Mexico's most popular Caribbean beaches. It has also pitted local communities against the president, who has described the problem as a "minor issue". Caesar Ortiz owns a taco restaurant on the waterfront in Tulum and says the beach smells so bad that it is forcing tourists to run away. (Photo: Tulum, Mexico, JUNE 15.
