"Beautiful view, could see the coast of Belize from there. Nice atmosphere, a lots of vendors close by to get snacks or giftshop items. Highly recommend to go in the evening"

"This is a nice area along the malecón to take photos or just enjoy the ocean view. There are often food vendors especially at night. I appreciate the relaxing atmosphere."

"Nice place for photos day or night. In the evening/night it tends to be busier than during the day. I've seen Iguanas, many types of birds and even a Caymen a couple of times in this area. It is just off the Malecon so it is an easy walk."
