Crocodiles have begun to move out of estuaries and rivers into the sea, crossing beaches and swimming close to the shore, as they move from one lake site to another as a natural behavior.

Especially in the Boca de Tomates area, crocodiles are coming out of the Boca Negra estuary and swimming on the beach, so the authorities ask bathers to be careful not to swim here when these reptiles are seen, much less to walk on the beach at night.

Also, in the area of the Ameca River in Vidanta and Nuevo Nayarit, crocodiles have been sighted swimming, authorities ask to pay attention to the purple flag that indicates their presence.

At Grand View beach there are many sightings, there is an estuary next to the golf course and crocodiles come out and swim, so it is not advisable to go in, much less at night.

On the beach of the hotel Los Tules, there is a vein of water and crocodiles come in and out of it.

On land it is important to be 10 meters away from the crocodile, in water leave immediately. These sightings increase with the rainy season.
