The Palmares Beach, which received the International Blue Flag award in July, has all but disappeared after a tidal wave hit the beach in Puerto Vallara, Mexico.
Playa Palmares is located 6 kilometers south of town, a 10-minue drive along Highway 200, just before Garza Blanca.
According to the city, the beach will be cleaned and repaired once the surges have receded, which is expected to happen on Thursday.
For now the blue flag has been removed until the clean up is complete, which they hope can be done this weekend.
The Blue Flag is a voluntary eco-label . . .
