Beaches in 2 of Mexico’s most popular coastal destinations deemed unsafe for swimming

Mexico's health regulator Cofepris identified five beaches with unsafe bacteria levels, including Playa del Cuale in Puerto Vallarta and Main Beach in Puerto Escondido. The findings, part of annual pre-summer monitoring, show 98.3% of beaches met health standards, but elevated enterococci levels at the five sites exceeded World Health Organization thresholds.
