Huatulco.– Matilde González has been selling clams, oysters and tripe for 20 years in a makeshift stand located under a tree that provides shade on La Delivery beach, one of the most emblematic of Huatulco . Even though the influx of visitors is low, thank God for having some sales, because for this woman the arrival of 30% of tourists is enough to take out for the food and the investment the next day.
Last year, Matilde was unable to sell anything at Easter because the state government decided to close the destination due to the risk posed by the advance of an unknown virus in the Oaxacan territory. After two months, it started with intermittent days, so this season, this saleswoman confesses, is the date they were waiting to recover.
Like her, established restaurateurs such as Arturo Lara, owner of the Ve el mar restaurant, in Bahía Santa Cruz, are grateful for the little tourism that has been dropped on these vacations, which remind them of the “holy” days of Catholicism.
“We expected more, the truth, but people are still afraid to go out, but the few that we have, 36%, trust the destination, which occupies the last places among the beach destinations in the country for having the least number of infections , that's good for everyone, "he says.

Of all the beach destinations in Oaxaca , Huatulco is the only one that has activated its tourist services up to 70%, since Puerto Escondido , Zipolite , Zicatela and Mazunte are between 50% and 60%.
This was because there was faith that, although the international visitors from Canada and the United States would not come, the season could be saved with the national visitors, but that hope was a long way off.
Even so, it was the families who saved the economy of many other merchants, as they arrived in their own vehicles. Matilde, for example, the saleswoman from La Delivery, says that she was surprised not to see any bus on the entire road that leads to the beach. The few bathers arrived in their own vans.
“Before, the lines were huge, from the road there was no longer room for buses, there was a lot of tourists, the beach was bursting, I couldn't cope. Everything was over. Today, on the other hand, there is not a single bus, we hardly sell, we do not say that we have no sales, but not like before ”, comments Doña Matilde.
Ricardo Pacheco, Tourism Councilor of the Huatulco city council, points out that this Easter the hotel occupancy was between 36%, but they still expected that in the last days it will increase to 45%, which could give a respite to the hurt economy.

Pochutla.— Of all the beach destinations in the Oaxaca Coast region, Mazunte , located in Santa María Tonameca, is the only one that has a police presence, this at the request of the municipal authority, so the few bathers observe strolling along the small beach to the elements of the state police loading their rifles.
The uniformed men are attentive to disturbances, to verify that the safe distance measures are followed or to react to an incident at sea, which gives visitors confidence that they do not exceed 40% of influx.
Mazunte, like the rest of the beaches, has an alert flag due to strong waves of up to four meters high, which puts the safety of the swimmer at risk.

Perhaps this is why a few visitors have come to this beach recognized by the Mexican Turtle Center and its work.
For this reason and because since long before the pandemic arrived in Mazunte, there were already official limitations to lessen the effects of tourism on the local population, something that has now become a necessity due to the risk of coronavirus infections spilling over .

In Zipolite , on the other hand, the police are not present neither to monitor nor to assist tourists. This beach is the only one where tourism is officially allowed. Just a group of three volunteer lifeguards led by El Tijuana, a young surfer who came to his best friend's wedding on the beach three years ago and has stayed since then.
But El Tijuana and El Pochu, another of the lifeguards, carry out this work out of vocation, since they do not receive support for what they do, neither money nor food. They only support themselves with the rental of surfboards.
For El Tijuana, even before the pandemic, he stated that every year the presence of tourists increased in this nudist destination.
"It is fashionable," he assures, but that is not why they are officially named as a rescue group. On the contrary, they are the ones who manage to support themselves, to the degree that the equipment they own was given to them by altruistic people.

The increase in people has also led to more accidents at this site, formerly known as La playa de los muertos. So far this Easter there have been two drowning episodes, one died, an American, the other they managed to save. Another person died in January, after Zipolite had had a white balance for two years.
Although visitors here do not exceed 40% of influx, the few people who occupy the beach insist on challenging the raging waves, despite the warnings.
