Puerto Vallarta, April 2025 — As Easter 2025 approaches, the Federal Commission for the Protection against Sanitary Risks (Cofepris) has declared Holy Beach—also known as Oasis—in Puerto Vallarta unsuitable for recreational activities due to dangerously high levels of fecal enterococci.
During routine monitoring ahead of the holiday period, Cofepris conducted water quality analyses at various tourist destinations across Mexico. The tests revealed that six beaches have exceeded the safe pollution thresholds, with Holy Beach among the affected areas. The bacterial count at these locations far surpasses the maximum allowable limit of 200 MPN/100 . . .
