La Libertad pier dates back to 1870. Originally it served as a port for pirates who later established a community near Mizata (located on kilometer 87 of the Coastal Highway). Over the years, the structure deteriorated and was replaced by a modern structure, which received a major make-over in 2003. This pier is the place to buy the “catch of the day” from local fishermen.

The seafood on offer includes lobster, blue crabs (popularly known as “crabs”), Fish of all sizes (including tasty snapper), squid, scallops, shrimp and clams. The product is sold by the pound and prices range from US$ 1.50 to $ 5.00 per pound.
