Tamaulipas proposes regulating RVs and ATVs on beaches after teen's death
Original source: Nota Tamaulipas

In Brief

Authorities in the Mexican state of Tamaulipas have initiated regulation of RVs and ATVs in tourist areas following a teenager's death on La Pesca beach. The proposal includes changes to several laws, and the resort has already introduced restrictions.

In the state of Tamaulipas (Mexico), measures to regulate the movement of RVs and ATVs in tourist zones are being developed. Deputy Elvia Eguía Castillo submitted an initiative to the state congress proposing amendments to laws on tourism, sustainable development, mobility, and traffic. The goal is to eliminate a legal vacuum, especially on beaches such as Miramar, Baghdad, La Pesca, and in the natural areas "El Cielo" and "Los Troncones."

The catalyst for stricter rules was a tragedy on La Pesca beach, where a teenager died in an accident involving a drunk driver. Luis Eduardo García Reyes, Executive Secretary of the Hunting and Fishing Commission, called for the creation of special zones for such vehicles to separate them from swimmers. He noted that the combination of speed, driver inexperience, and alcohol consumption turns recreation into tragedy.

At the La Pesca resort itself, restrictions have been in effect for a month and a half: ATVs and motorcycles are banned. This week, the mayor's office will deliver a regulation with fines and sanctions to service providers. Additionally, the first phase of a new hydraulic network construction will begin in 2026, planned in three phases until 2027.
