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.[1][2] Until the 1980s it was one of the most popular beaches in Lima, visited especially by the city's wealthy families.[3] 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.[4]
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).[5]
