Caution Advised for Tourists on Popular Beaches in Los Cabos Posted on March 26, 2024July 12, 2024 By Travelworldwide Travelers heading to Mexico often choose between Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, and the luxurious Los Cabos for their beach vacations. While all these destinations are amazing, they do have their downsides. Issues like large crowds, hurricane season, and various beach hazards mean that expectations should be managed. As summer vacations begin, the city of Los Cabos has advised beachgoers to be cautious at popular beaches. This might be surprising since many Cabo beaches have earned the prestigious blue flag, but nature can be unpredictable. As of June 14, 2024, jellyfish have been spotted in Cabo’s waters. Travelers shouldn’t abandon their plans to visit Los Cabos, but they will notice white flags along the shores. These flags are part of a color-tiered system that informs visitors about specific beach risks. In this case, the white flags indicate the presence of jellyfish, which can cause rashes and discomfort. White flags are posted at Medano Beach, El Corsario Beach, and Palmilla Beach. Additionally, yellow flags, indicating strong currents, are posted at Santa Maria Acapulquito Beach, La Ribera Beach, Hacienda Beach, El Surgidero Beach, and Acapulquito Beach. The presence of jellyfish at Medano Beach, one of the most popular swimming spots in Cabo, has led lifeguards to post white flags. Medano Beach is known for its beauty, safety, and prime location, making it a top choice for travelers. However, the jellyfish situation means that swimming might not be advisable for now. Fortunately, jellyfish are marine creatures, so staying indoors at a resort is safe. The challenge is resisting the temptation to ignore the warnings and enjoy the stunning views. There are still plenty of ways to enjoy Los Cabos without swimming. Hiring a tour guide to take you by boat to the famous ‘El Arco’ (the Arch) is a great option. Boating, kayaking, paddleboarding, or simply lounging in the sun are all safe activities despite the jellyfish warnings. It’s important to take the flag warnings seriously to avoid any risks. If you do get stung by a jellyfish, the old advice of having someone urinate on the wound is outdated and not recommended. Instead, Health.com suggests rubbing cool vinegar or placing hot water on the affected area. Over-the-counter NSAIDs can also help with the pain. Blog
