Puerto Vallarta is preparing to receive international Blue Flag certification for seven additional beaches next month, marking a significant step in the destination’s ongoing commitment to environmental quality, visitor safety, and sustainable tourism. The announcement was made during a meeting of the City Council’s Clean, Free, and Certified Beaches Commission, where Councilman Christian Omar Bravo Carbajal confirmed that the official unveiling of the newly certified beaches will take place in August. The internationally recognized Blue Flag program honors beaches and marinas that meet some of the world’s highest environmental and operational standards. Playa Camarones currently holds international Blue Flag certification, while Playa de Oro has earned both White Flag and Platinum Flag environmental distinctions. “Good news is coming for Puerto Vallarta next month: seven Blue Flags,” the councilman said, adding that final preparations are underway before the official presentation.
