Seek out the smaller original Boy on the Seahorse on the rocks at Las Pilitas, south of Los Muertos Beach. Its shoreline position is part of the story: the exposed original was damaged by waves and wind, prompting Zamarripa's larger Malecón version. Here the interest is the sculpture in its coastal setting, with surf and rock affecting how close you can safely get. View it from a stable spot rather than treating it as a promenade sculpture.
