While coastal areas in many parts of the world boast sandy beaches, the Lima coastline, particularly along the Costa Verde, is characterized by its unique pebble and stone beaches. This distinctive geology is quite common along the Peruvian coast, especially where the Andes mountains meet the Pacific. Unlike a sandy beach, these stony shores offer a different kind of sensory experience, and they are also less prone to erosion, though they can make for a slightly more challenging walk to the water's edge. The scene here, with the car parked right by the water's edge and the person beside it, highlights the accessible nature of these coastal areas. The Costa Verde, or "Green Coast," is a series of cliffs and beaches that stretches along a significant portion of Lima's Pacific coastline. It's not just a scenic drive; it's an important recreational area for Limeños, offering opportunities for surfing, paragliding, and simply enjoying the ocean views. The presence of surfers in the water in the distance is a common sight here, as many parts of the Costa Verde are known for good waves. The license plate on the car, if you noticed it, shows "ANT-684," which is a standard Peruvian license plate format.
