    There is no question that water is essential to all life on earth but, for many people, it’s more than a physical necessity; the beach is healing to their spirit. Sure, this necessity plays a significant role in human life, from our health to the survival of animal life to the national economy. Once again in 2022 Nayarit Mexico leads the country with the largest number of certified clean beaches.

According to noticiasenlinea.mx, there are 33 government criteria for beaches and 25 criteria for marinas that are grouped into four categories: Environmental Information and Education; Water Quality; Environmental Management and Management and Safety and Services. To be certified it’s necessary to have adequate personnel and equipment for the safety of the visitor, signage and emergency plans, as well as accesses and inclusive spaces for people with disabilities.”  Each July all agencies and organizations working on clean beaches, monitoring, water quality and beach certification are invited to attend a four day training session to learn new developments and address potential future problems.

Just a quick explanation as to why it matters that you visit an area with clean water: There are many diseases caused by water pollution. These include gastrointestinal diseases with diarrhea,  vomiting, and fever; reproductive problems; neurological disorders; and even cancer. Anyone can be affected, but babies, young children, elderly individuals, pregnant women and especially those who have weakened immune systems, are susceptible to illnesses from various water contaminants.

By preserving and supporting good water quality we benefit the environment, public health, and the protection of water resources for future generations.  If you love sunshine, water sports, crystal clear seas, good food, ecotourism and beach relaxation, the clean, beautiful beaches in Jaltemba Bay, Nayarit are the ideal destination for you.
