The Lively Boardwalk (El Peatonal): Running right alongside the sand is a beautiful, palm-lined pedestrian boardwalk that stays vibrant and buzzing with energy day and night.
-
Everything Within Walking Distance: The beach is surrounded by the island's best hotels, famous beach clubs (like Coco Loco), excellent dining options, and massive duty-free shopping centers.
