Paseo del Mar — Attraction in Zamboanga City

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...

Place is guarded by soldiers and guards and you need to show your ID to enter this area( Basically, all public place in Zamboanga City has checkpoint). There is a big parking lot beside the tourism office where you can reserve and book your pink beach and onse...

Please allow skaters to use the skatepark. Paseo is a wonderful place but it's sad to see the skatepark go unused and skaters have to find their own places to skate in streets or areas that aren't made for them. If safety and injuries are a concern that's totally understandable, it is a risky sport. Skaters know that. Encouraging or requiring skaters to wear safety gear can help with that issue. But there are skaters who know how to be careful as well, in fact, skateboarding teaches one how to fall properly. I'm just one of the many skaters who want access to the skatepark to practice and have fun. It is simply a recreational activity that also has plenty of health benefits, both physically and mentally. Other activities have their own designated areas, for basketball, volleyball, biking, and skaters have this skatepark. So please, let us use it for its...
