  3. Cevichería la Choza Nautica

  7. La Rosa Nautica

    This famous restaurant is in a fabulous building at the end of Playa Costa Verde's historic pier.

Take a taxi to the pier and walk the last 100m. Recommended dishes include the grilled sea bass, and the mouthwatering crayfish, crab and tomato cocktail.
