Playa La Honda

Playa La Honda is a sandy beach on Peru's Pacific coast where regular waves roll onto the shore. The area includes some beachfront residences and serves both local residents and visitors.

The beach transformed from a natural coastal area into a residential zone starting in the 1980s. This development established the character it has today.

Fishermen work the beach and sell their daily catch to visitors interested in preparing traditional coastal dishes. This everyday practice connects the place to wider Peruvian seaside traditions.

The beach has parking areas, restroom facilities, and designated swimming zones with lifeguards during the day. Check when lifeguards are on duty before planning your swim.

A private residential complex sits directly on the beach with views of the ocean. This gated community notably shapes the appearance of the area.
