Located on Magdalena Island, this beach gets its name from the massive sand dunes on this part of the island. Dune Beach is an ideal place to spend a day camping, fishing, diving, picnicking, dune jumping, and swimming. The shallow and calm bay waters are ideal for small children. A short hike across the dunes takes you to the Pacific Ocean where you will find a wide open sandy beach filled with sand dollars. This beach has small waves that are fun for older children.

MONITORING FREQUENCY

SOURCE INFORMATION

Waterkeepers de las Baja Californias y sus socios monitorean la calidad del agua en las playas de Tijuana, Loreto, Bahía Magdalena, La Paz, Los Cabos, Cabo Pulmo y La Ribera durante todo el año. WKBC y sus socios utilizan un protocolo de muestreo y análisis del agua estandarizado en toda la región (ver http://waterkeepersbaja.org/lo-que-hacemos/), basado en el estándar del gobierno mexicano utilizado para playas recreativas (Comisión Federal para la Protección de Riesgos Sanitarios (COFEPRIS).

Se toman y analizan muestras de agua una vez al mes y los resultados se publican en Swim Guide Mexico dentro de las 6 primeras horas de la obtención de resultados.

• VERDE: Se marca una playa en color VERDE cuando en los resultados de una muestra se presenta un valor bajo del máximo permisible, 200 NMP (número más probable de colonias de Enterococos por 100 ml de agua).

• ROJO: Se marca una playa en color ROJO cuando en los resultados de una muestra se presenta un valor por encima del máximo permisible, 200 NMP. En caso de presentarse un valor por encima del máximo permisible (200 NMP), el programa local de WKBC notifica a las autoridades correspondientes: Comisión Nacional del Agua (CNA) a través de la Comisión Federal para la Protección de Riesgos Sanitarios (COFEPRIS).

**Una playa se mantiene marcada en VERDE o ROJO por 72 horas después del resultado y se convierte a color GRIS hasta el siguente monitoreo.**

• GRIS: Se marca una playa en color GRIS cuando no hay resultados actualizados o no hay información disponible.
