Malecón is a Spanish term that refers to a seafront promenade or boardwalk, typically found along the coast of a city. The word is used in several Latin American and Caribbean countries to describe an area that runs parallel to the coastline, where people can walk, relax, and enjoy views of the sea. A malecón often serves as a recreational and social space, featuring walkways, benches, restaurants, cafes, and sometimes monuments or sculptures.
