As of today, Playa de Oro joins the list of Puerto Vallarta beaches that have received the Blue Flag Certificate.
The Crown Paradise hotel was the venue to receive the award, where municipal authorities and private initiatives were pleased to receive the distinction.
At the event, Joaquin Díaz Ríos, executive director of the Foundation For Environment Education Mexico, highlighted this honor, which, he said, is a source of pride for all Vallartans, as well as for businessmen and city authorities.
The person in charge of receiving this certification was the councilor Sara Mosqueda, who attended on behalf of Mayor Luis Alberto Michel Rodríguez.
Puerto Vallarta now has four Blue Flag beaches: Playa Camarones, Palmares, Sheraton and Playa de Oro.

In order to qualify for this prestigious award, a series of stringent environmental, educational, safety-related, and access-related criteria must be met and maintained.
