Lots of street vendors selling souvenirs and food. You can buy a pineapple full of fruit, cotton candy, bracelets, churros, etc. The sunset is wonderful at this point, and after nightfall there are people who jump into the ocean from the top of the tower.

The diver was impressive and a bit scary. They land in hard waters very close to rocks but they are clearly professionals and very skilled swimmers. Cool to see! Be sure to leave them a tip :) There were also people in the area selling souvineers for really good prices.
