The Sidewalk
Placencia’s famous sidewalk thoroughfare is listed by Guinness World Records lists as the narrowest main street in the world. The walkway, originally laid down in the 1940s then paved in the ’60s, measures 4,071 feet long and 4 feet wide. Locals and visitors use it as the town’s major artery, leading them north from the harbor past shops, guesthouses and beach bars.
Take a walk down the famous “Sidewalk” and make sure you notice the local ettique for traffic. Single walkers, please step off for couples, elderly people, Mom’s with kids, and of course wheel barrows.
