Pimentel Beach & Pier
Playa y Muelle de Pimentel
Chiclayo's nearest beach, where you can watch fishermen head out in reed totora boats and enjoy seafood and sunsets on a century-old pier.
This seaside town lies about 14 km from the city center. On the beach you can see fishermen still using traditional totora reed boats, known as caballitos de totora, which head out in the morning and return in the afternoon. The restored century-old iron pier stretches into the Pacific and is a good spot for a sunset stroll. Seafood restaurants along the shore serve ceviche and chinguirito. The nearby fishing village of Santa Rosa is also worth a visit to see its colorful fishing boats. A taxi from the city center takes about 20 minutes.
