Peru Updates 2026 Beach Health Ratings as Verano Saludable Goes Live

Officials advise checking the Verano Saludable app before visiting any beach.

Overview

  • MINSA and DIGESA published the latest sanitary classifications for beaches and pools for the 2026 summer season, now visible on the Verano Saludable platform.
  • Costa Verde sites in Miraflores, Barranco and Chorrillos received green flags, including Tres Picos, La Pampilla II, Redondo I y II, Los Delfines, Estrella, Los Pavos, Barranco, Pescadores and Las Sombrillas.
  • Several popular beaches were flagged as not healthy due to untreated discharges, among them Señoritas, Los Pulpos, Los Yuyos, Naplo and D’Onofrio.
  • Media tallies differ on totals judged healthy — one report cites 19 of 73 in Lima Metropolitana while another lists 41 sites overall — so the official platform remains the reference for current status.
  • Health ratings are updated through regular inspections that assess water microbiology, beach cleanliness, sanitary services and posted flag signals blue for healthy and red for not healthy.
