Construction of the Malecon is proceeding, but at a slow pace. The plan was to dig a deep footing and put pipes and other infrastructure within, but high water tables have flooded the trench, making deep canals on the beach front street. Most of the restaurants and beach businesses have closed down and no through traffic is allowed on the beach. To make up for it, a lot of decent inexpensive Mexican restaurants have sprung up on the second street back, some with beach view.
