Playa Grande
The most fashionable beach district in the city, with upscale seaside clubs, surfers and a yacht club pier nearby.
Playa Grande lies in the southern part of the city. Its wide sandy beach is home to several upscale seaside clubs and restaurants, and it draws celebrities in summer, making it a hotspot for surfing and beach sports. Its northern end adjoins the high-end residential area on Stella Maris Hill, and its southern end is the yacht club and fishing harbor breakwater. Some sections are private bathing areas that charge admission, while public areas are free. From downtown, it takes about 40 minutes by bus or on foot along the seaside avenue.
