Playa Agua Dulce
Playa Agua Dulce Review
The nicest of Lima's public beaches, Playa Agua Dulce is a wide swath of gray sand that slopes into calm water. It gets packed on weekends from December to April, when vendors wander through the crowd and families enjoy picnic lunches. Consequently, the sand has tiny scraps of litter mixed in. The view of a nearby fishing pier and several neighborhoods along the nearby ridge is quite nice. Amenities: parking, toilets. Best for: sunset; swimming.
- Address: Circuito de Playas, 1 km (1/2 mile) south of Bajada los Baños, Chorrillos, Lima, 09
- Location: Barranco
