One of the most pristine and precious places on the Peruvian coastline, Paracas is only a short, scenic drive away from Lima and has a lot to offer. There are actually a few different stretches of sand to be found here; they're all quite similar, offering calming and relaxed atmospheres where you can sit and listen to the hum of the waves, but each one has its own unique views and features, so it can be fun to spend a full day here and explore them all. You might even choose to book a boat trip over to the Isla Ballestas and do some wildlife watching.
