Beaches will be open: Be alert in Zicatela which is the most important beach for skillful surfers. It's the best time of the year for the big pipeline with huge waves. Just today (Saturday) a surfer nearly drowned. The schedule for surfing at Zicatela will continue to be from 6:00 a.m. until 9:00 a.m.
There will be some boat tours in Manialtepec and Chacahua, but only for half the boats' capacity. You'll be welcome to almost every restaurant and store. Please wear your face mask. Be prepared to wash your hands. The majority of stores, large and small, are open now.
The travel agencies and public transportation drivers must use face masks and riders will be required to wear face masks, too. Be sure not to make big groups.
Huatulco is open.
Mazunte: Museo de La Tortuga. The Sea Turtle Museum will probably not be open until August.
Puerto Escondido Hotels and Restaurants will follow the protocol of hygiene and will be checked by the municipalities' inspectors. Reservations are available in almost all hotels and restaurants.
There is some tourism, but not much, so many people have lost their jobs. It's hard for workers to buy food and pay the light bill. Be generous. I know some people are paying light bills for people they know are struggling. When Juquila opens to the public (perhaps until September), tourism will increase in Puerto Escondido, but we don't know for sure when that might be.
. . . always something new in the Visitors' Comments
