We are proud to announce that Mexico currently has only two beaches with the highest Blue Flag “A+” rating of excellence—and both are right here in Los Cabos. Playa Palmilla and Playa Santa María, two stunning public beaches, now hold this prestigious distinction, offering visitors unmatched beauty and safety.
Los Cabos is renowned for its crystal-clear waters and breathtaking beaches. The destination boasts Blue Flag awards for 22 of its main beaches—the highest number in Mexico. This year, the achievement is even greater, with two beaches reaching the highest level of excellence.
The “A+” rating was awarded following a rigorous two-week audit, evaluating 33 international criteria across environmental information and education, water quality, environmental management, safety, and services.
This award highlights the importance of environmental protection in coastal areas. Education is essential so that visitors can help preserve these natural treasures by adopting and sharing responsible behaviors.
Lifeguards play a vital role, ensuring the safety of swimmers and monitoring marine life, reporting any incidents to the appropriate authorities. Blue Flag beaches are known for their special characteristics, including suitable tides and morphology, making them ideal for visitors.
For a tourist destination, having Blue Flag-certified beaches means the community is committed to cleanliness and responsible use. This commitment sets a positive example for neighboring beaches, encouraging everyone to maintain environmental respect and cleanliness, whether or not a beach is certified.
The Blue Flag distinction is renewed annually and remains valid only if all requirements continue to be met.
