Malecón & Centro Turístico
Malecón de Granada / Centro Turístico
The lakeshore at the eastern end of Calle La Calzada, with views over the vast Lake Nicaragua, and one of the departure points for boats to the island group.
At the eastern end of Calle La Calzada lies the Malecón lakeshore promenade, which extends south into the Centro Turístico leisure area. Along the shore you’ll find docks, bars and restaurants, and grassy areas, with views of Mombacho Volcano and the lake. Small boats leave from here for the island group, and locals come on weekends to relax. Sunshine is strong during the day, so late afternoon is the most comfortable time. The water is murky and swimming is generally not recommended. It is quite empty at night, so take care.
