"Entradas" (entries) are the numbered street access points to Salinas beach along the malecón. Entrada 5 is notable for the presence of the espigón — a jetty or breakwater structure that extends into the ocean, creating a popular spot for local fishermen and an interesting feature of the Salinas beachfront.
The Espigón
An espigón (also called a groyne or jetty) is a structure built perpendicular to the shoreline to control sand movement and protect the beach from erosion. The espigón at Salinas creates a calmer area of water on one side, attractive for:
- Local fishermen who cast from the structure
- Swimmers seeking calmer water in the jetty's lee
- Photography of the waves breaking against the structure
Beach Access
Like all Entradas on the Salinas malecón, Entrada 5 provides a stairway or ramp down from the malecón promenade to the beach level. The beach here is typically sandy and suitable for swimming.
The Malecón
Entrada 5 is part of the broader Malecón de Salinas beachfront promenade. The full malecón stretches from the Chipipe area westward through the main Salinas beach. See that article for the full range of restaurants, activities, and access points along the promenade.
