Punta Hermosa, Coastal district in Lima Province, Peru
The district extends along the Pacific Ocean coastline, featuring multiple sandy beaches and residential areas connected by the Pan-American Highway.
Established in 1954, Punta Hermosa developed from a seasonal beach destination into a permanent residential area with urban infrastructure and services.
Local residents maintain maritime traditions through annual festivals and events, while the district serves as a center for Peruvian coastal culture.
The district contains four main population centers - Punta Hermosa, Capilla, Lucumo, Cucuya, and Pampapacta - all accessible within 42 kilometers from Lima.
