“the attacks by stingrays were detected on the beaches of Isla de la Piedra and the beach in front of Del Mar Avenue, although these marine animals can be seen on the entire shoreline,” he said.   

Espinoza Bastidas gave some recommendations to bathers to be attentive to the flags that are placed on different beaches of the entity so that they do not enter the sea when the warning is issued.   

Finally, he stressed that the swell at the moment is calm, and it is estimated that it will continue like this throughout the month of December.
