Tourism Observations

The beach? Absolutely packed!!! Saw a wonderful white dog that self entertained, chasing birds and swimming. Seriously swimming. Went out to check a swimmer passing by. What a good guy.

As a dog owner, I’m sorry to read this part of your posting. Dogs ought not to be “harassing” wildlife. That is the kind of irresponsible dog owner behaviour that creates animosity toward dog owners. The other aspect is the poop on the beach.

I don’t suggest my dog is never off-leash. In fact, he is off-leash during every morning walk and during every evening beach walk. As soon as there is wildlife around, he is back on his leash. There are other dogs on the beach, some with people and some apparently on their own. Not only am I picking up my own dog’s poop, I’m picking up other dogs’ poop as well.

I hope we dog owners will behave responsibly so that we don’t end up with more initiatives for blue flag beaches.

THANK YOU! While I've picked up some extraneous dog doo, I don't carry enough bags with me to do so frequently, though like most of my neighbors I pick up quite a bit of human trash. Unfortunately, because the public restrooms CHARGE and they CLOSE at night, whatever my dog does on a tree is nothing compared to what humans do on them. I know this is an unheard of practice here, but if we want people to use public restrooms, they need to be FREE OF CHARGE, and they need to be OPEN 24 hours, especially because so many bars and convenience stores sell alcohol all night long and there are people on the beach many nights all night long, including a young lady who has been living on our downtown beach for several months now and apparently has gig going. #PuebloMágico
