La Herradura, Surfing beach in Chorrillos District, Peru.
La Herradura extends 0.7 kilometers along the coast, featuring strong waves and a pebbly shoreline instead of traditional sand surfaces.
The beach transformed from a sandy coastal area into a stone-covered shore during the 1980s due to the construction of the road to La Chira.
The location holds a position in the National Reef Registry since 2016, recognizing the protection status of its waves for water sports.
The beach temperature ranges from 28°C during January through April to 15°C between June and September, with minimal rainfall throughout the year.
Three distinct surfing sections characterize the beach: El Point, La Segunda, and La Tercera, with waves reaching heights of 4 meters.
