On many occasions, when arriving at the beach, on the sand you can see a flag that indicates the conditions of the sea, as well as the cautions must be followed by any visitor in order to avoid a situation.

Green, yellow and red are intuitive colors, but there are two other warning flags that often go unnoticed.

With the aim to guarantee an enjoyable experience on the Puerto Vallarta and/or Riviera Nayarit beaches, we share the meaning of each of the warning flags that can be placed on our destination’s beaches.

Keep in mind that absence of flags does not assure safe waters.

· Green Flag
Low Hazard
Calm conditions, exercise caution.

· Yellow Flag
Medium Hazard
Moderate surf and/or currents.

· Red Flag
High Hazard
High surf and/or strong currents.

· Purple Flag
Dangerous Marine Life
Presence of dangerous marine life in the area.

· Black Flag
Water Closed to Public
Pretty bad conditions of the sea and sand.

Finally, keep in mind that, in any situation, the best is to call to 911.

“There are lots of reasons why we have advertised in Vallarta Lifestyles for several years. One of them is that they know pretty well their target, because they know who are their readers and they adapt as much as possible the content and material that is offered. For these reasons they have a growing number of readers which is very important for us. Another reason is that many people  —including us— think that the magazine has been as a serious publication since its beginnings. Historically, Vallarta Lifestyles has known how to capture the audience and has done it pretty well."
