La Libertad

Sand bottomBeginnerFaces N · 3°Draft metadata

A roughly 500 m city beach in front of La Libertad's malecón, on the calm north side of the peninsula; the breakwaters form a natural pool that suits children. The strip of sand is narrow and almost disappears at high tide, so go at low tide.
