Paseo del Mar

One of the busiest attraction in the city. This seaside complex host various dining establishments that offer local cuisine and the most refreshing and iconic desert in Zamboanga, the Knickerbocker (get the original from Palmeras which has the best location at the edge of the complex). The complex also feature a convention center, a children's playground, a skatepark and a dancing fountain (currently non-functioning). It's also the jumping point where you board the vessels that will take you to Sta. Cruz Island.

Afternoons and evenings are the busiest and large crowds gather at dusk to view the magnificent sunset of Zamboanga. Fitness enthusiasts gather here in the morning for their zumba sessions and go around the park for a run or walk. If you wish to avoid the crowd, it's best to visit in the morning however you wont find any open establishments.

Mornings are also the best time to catch some of the local wildlife with birds such as eagles and egrets flying by or hunting for food around the area.

The park is showing its age as some of the benches are already worn out and lamp posts are no longer functioning. Despite the visible wear and tear, this seaside park is still very lively and popular for tourists and locals alike.
