Walk 18 minutes west to Parque Martiniano Carvajal. This park offers a quiet, green space to digest your meal and enjoy the morning atmosphere away from the main tourist bustle.

End your morning at Playa Norte. This is a great spot for swimming and features unique local landmarks like the Fishermen's Memorial (monkeys bichis) and a monument to the Pacific Brewery. It is a nice break from the busy center and perfect for a relaxed afternoon.
Local tip
