Tourist beaches are sensitive and complex ecosystems that are constantly subjected to pressures derived from anthropic activities. The presence of natural phenomena increases coastal risks. The research was documentary and descriptive. The object of the study focused on assessing the perception that users have about the existing coastal risks on the beaches of Mayapo, in the department of La Guajira, Colombia. Among the results, it was found that the most frequent threat to the area of the beach comes from floods that occur in the rainy seasons, characterized by strong winds and large waves. It is concluded that the beach area currently suffers flood threats that lead to a reduction in the size of the coastal strip and damage to the present infrastructure, affecting the environmental, economic and sociocultural sustainability of the coastal territory.
