Overview
editThe bay is separated from Callao Bay by the Peninsula of La Punta. Due to its location, it is a place of great commercial, tourist and military importance,[3] there is the Costa Verde Beach Circuit, which unites the coastal districts of the bay, which are La Punta and La Perla in Callao,[4][5] San Miguel, Magdalena del Mar, San Isidro, Miraflores, Barranco and Chorrillos, in Lima.
The shore area is characterized by being rocky and full of cliffs.[6] The Peruvian government has two mega constructions planned in the bay: the Miraflores Bay Cruise Terminal for tourists in the Miraflores district,[7] and the Gran Bahía de Lima viewpoint in honour of Miguel Grau in the Chorrillos district.[8]
