Strände und Parks in Miraflores

Coastal Parks & Beaches

Miraflores’ coastline is defined by the Malecón, a six-mile cliffside boardwalk connecting several landscaped parks. Key highlights include the mosaics of Love Park and the floral Nazca Lines at María Reiche Park. Below the cliffs, the Pacific shore features gravel and sand beaches like Waikiki and Makaha, known for year-round surfing. The area also serves as a hub for recreational activities, including paragliding from the Raimondi Park launch site and cycling along dedicated coastal paths.
