Lima Tourist Trap Tips by AKtravelers

If you've looked at a map and salivated at the prospect of spending some time on Lima's long beaches, think again. The water is dirty and the sand is, well, rocks. Baseball size rocks. In fact, the sound of the undertoe crackling as it pulls the rocks out to sea is lodged forever in my memory.
Furthermore, while the sunset over the Pacific can be pretty (on the rare evenings there is no fog), the beach after dark can be dangerous and crime-infested.
So, while the beach is interesting for people-watching, entertaining for the surfer buff an interesting for its sea-side cliffs, one should not make it a point to visit the shores of Lima.
