Except the port, there are many beaches in Callao, and the water is quite clear. Mostly there is no sand, but small round stones, not too bad for walking.
Besides the port there is the main Lima airport, too. The International "Jorge Chevaz" airoport is inside Callao area, but institutionally it may belong to Lima.
