About La Herradura
La Herradura is a beach in Lima, Peru, located near Playa 3, which is 954 meters away. The beach has a surface of pebbles and is 363 meters long. OpenStreetMap lists a nearby airport, Aeropuerto Internacional Jorge Chávez, 20 kilometers away.
La Herradura is a beach located in the Chorrillos District of Lima, Peru. It has been used as a balneario since the beginning of the 20th century and for surfing since the 1960s. Until the 1980s it was one of the most popular beaches in Lima, visited especially by the city's wealthy families. The construction of the road to La Chira beach changed the configuration of the beach and the shore, which was previously sandy, was filled with stones.
Since December 28, 2016, La Herradura has been part of the National Reef Registry (RENARO), a registry of protected waves in the country covered by the law on the preservation of reefs appropriate for sports (law no. 27280).
