Resumen

This article shows the environmental recovery and sustainable use of the Chorrillos beach of Huacho, which is polluted and closed; but it is recoverable according to Jáuregui [2]. In spite of being contaminated, the competent authorities and the population do not act for this recovery and its use, even more, they are aware that this environment affects their health and their economy, and due to the lack of opportunities the population migrates. For this reason, it is fundamental the environmental recovery of this beach and its use as a great opportunity for human development, for it was evaluated the environmental opportunities that it offers, as well as other resources that exist in the area, allowing it to be more attractive for tourism. In part the experiences of the United Nations (UN) and other documentary means, have allowed to make proposals for environmental management for its recovery and sustainable use of this beach, as well as its measurement of sustainability of Pressure-State-Response (PER), evidencing that it is possible to apply these proposals and whose experience is a contribution also for the sustainable development of other towns in a similar situation.
