The initiative was supported by the First Lady's Office, Mi Cultura, the Community Board, and the Old Town Office. Mayor Mayer Mizrachi highlighted that the space will allow visitors to enjoy the sand, the sun, and the city views, while the local economy will also benefit from food and drink stalls that will be set up in the area. Las Garzas Beach will be open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. For now, swimming is not allowed, nor is bringing coolers, alcoholic beverages, or weapons, and littering is prohibited. The mayor's office is working on recovering another six beaches in the Old Town that will soon open: Playa Prieta, El Malecón, Punta Chiriquí, Playa La Noria, and the Santo Domingo beaches. The mayor's office was in charge of cleaning, adapting, and preparing this space for Panamanians and tourists. The project is part of the first Pedestrian Quarter of the year and the plan to recover about 7 historic beaches in the area. A total of 30,000 meters of history and sea breeze came back to life in the Old Town with the official opening of Las Garzas Beach, in the San Felipe district.
