Malecón de Puerto Plata
A seafront promenade stretching several kilometers along the Atlantic, where locals stroll, snack and watch the waves in the evening.
The Puerto Plata Malecón runs east from Fortaleza San Felipe for several kilometers along the coast. On one side are Atlantic waves breaking on long beaches, and on the other side are restaurants, bars and food stalls. In the evening, locals stroll, ride bikes and drink chilled beer here. It is especially lively on weekend nights, with frequent music and street snacks. You can walk the coast from the fort, or take a taxi to the long beach at the eastern end. At night, keep an eye on your belongings.
