Malecón
Malecón. La Paz's Newly Reconstructed Waterfront, With Its Wide Sidewalk, Tiny Beaches, Tourist Pier, Benches, Sculptures By Local Artists And Unimpeded Sunset Views, Has Become The City's Biggest Highlight. At The Time Of Research, The Malecón Stretched 5.5km (3.5 Miles), From The Marina De La Paz In The South, To Playa Coromuel To The North. The Real Magic Is At Sundown, When Paceños Spill Out Of Their Homes And Take To The Malecón To Stroll, Jog, Bike, Power Walk Or Just Hang Out And Listen To The Live Bands That Set Up On What's Easily One Of Mexico's Finest Waterfronts.
