They include important information about G20 and organization of traffic, access to beaches and other information for the days of the G20 Summit.

2. The Convention Center will be open for the G20 Summit.

3. All beaches including access to beaches from the Holiday Inn (Known before as the Presidente Intercontinental Hotel, next to the estuary) all the way to Punta Ballena will be restricted from the 12th – 20th of June.

4. Highest concentration of Security will be in Cabo del Sol & Punta Ballena.

10. There will be no boat traffic allowed east of Misiones del Cabo towards the Estuary close to shore, but further out at sea it will be open for navigation.

14. Don’t forget to smile, this is an unprecedented event in our destination, which we are certain will be a catalyst to re active foreign investment on our shores, in the near future.

15. We thank all the authorities for the hard work and for bringing this event to our destination & we will keep you abreast if anything changes.

16. If you are here during this event and want to venture out, there are so many places to see along the pacific coast towards Cerritos, Pescadero & Todos Santos and towards the east you have Santiago, Miraflores, Los Barriles, Bay Of Dreams, La Ventana & La Paz.

    Hi Felipe, by now you probably received the information – the beaches were completely closed, no surfing or walking dogs in the closed area. Medano beach and beaches beyond San Jose or Cabo were open for all the activities. I apologize for a late reply. I hope you had a great time!
