Yes, when the current mayor's wife, Lizette Tapia, was in charge of the municipal office of Dimaren (Ecología) during the administration of Eric Fernández not very long ago we had a meeting of over a hundred hotel owners, lodging operators, restaurant owners, turisteros and affected residents. She wanted to ban pets on the beaches. Of the over 100 people present, only Francisco and one other person voted in favor of banning pets.
Francisco is a long-time dear friend. I can agree to disagree with him on this. He has his reasons and his beliefs and I have mine. He isn't the person responsible for the Blue Flag farce. That is squarely on the mayor.

He may not be responsible, but he is certainly enforcing it and promoting it! Personally speaking he has lost business with this attitude. As we all know, there are families who have decided not to come to Zihua because of this, so because of the mayor and two other people a lot of business has been lost at a time when they could least afford it! In my mind, he owns a portion of this!

I thought that the blue flag area did not extend the full length of the beach. The linked post implies that it does. Which is correct?

It does not. The signs indicate that the area ends at the south end of The Thompson.
When I read all of the information on line when it was first introduced, it showed the end of the blue flag area being at the Mercadito de Artisanias between Villa Mexicana and The Thompson. When the south sign was first installed, it was in front of the center of The Thompson. It was removed and reappeared later at the south end.
With the higher tides in the summer, the sign would not survive except well away from the water line.

So even though the link seems to indicate the Blue Flag area extends to La Perla, it doesn’t, right?

Hola Talley Ho-
I am wondering if there is a website that shows the actual map of the Blue Flag zone on La Ropa? I would love to be able to print that out and show it to someone if I am hassled with my dog on the “legal” part of the beach.
We rented a place for a month as we are nearing retirement and are scoping out possible places to live…..but had I known then that dogs aren’t allowed on most of the beaches in Zihuatenejo I wouldn’t have booked this. We definitely want to land somewhere that is super dog friendly.
Gracias!

Just do your homework and you will finally find the actual map of where the lines are. Honestly, living here and having done that, I don't want to have to do that again.
Please enable your email for direct contact, there are "things" you should know!!!

Wishful Thinking on Francisco's part! I'll go with Talley! She's the one with the dogs!

You can see my comment on that post, for the ½ centavo it's worth in Fb cyberspace.

La Perla has had a "no dogs" sign for years. A few years ago, a gringa with a yappy little chihuahua sat under one of the over-priced rental umbrellas. When I pointed out the "no dogs" policy, she angrily said "the owner lets me bring my dog." Maybe it was one of those "support dogs".
