Yes, the no dogs regulation does apply to La Ropa, La Madera, and Las Gatas. I really hope that is not true about the Parque Lineal!

You may visit La Ropa but the dog police are at La Madera too. My understanding that we are not to walk our 4 footed friends on the lineal park along the canal even. I think the bottom line they don't have much of a clue if they are supposed to attrack tourists to Zihua. They do nothing to take care of the loose aggressive dogs throughout the neighbourhoods.

La Perla, and if you're looking for a beach to walk your dog, any other beach will do! They only seem to concentrate on La Ropa, which is fine with me. It's a zoo, most of the time.

The article implies that it is only gringo expats who enjoy walking their dogs on the beach and are unhappy with this policy. I have many Mexican friends in Zihua who enjoy early morning walks on the beach with their dogs. One way of beating this is to show up very early, before the "doggie cops" arrive.

Hola
Just reading the Mexican News Daily. There is an article in it entitled "Zihuatanejo beaches: no dogs allowed". This site is quoted a few times. They also state that this was all started by a certain restaurant on La Ropa. Hmm wonder which one that is. Won't every be going there.
I guess our complaining has had some effect. We don't have to blockade the roads to be heard. What good it does remains to be seen. Let's hope for the best. Will be coming with our dog in October. When we get there we will see if we need to go to Playa Larga or elsewhere for beaches.
