5 Beaches in Vina del Mar That You Shouldn't Miss
The most popular beach resort in the country, Vina del Mar is within reach of both Santiago and Valparaiso. Vina teems with tourists during peak months December, January and February, despite Antarctic currents that make swimming a formidable prospect. Renaca is the hippest spot to sink onto the sands. The Fonck Museum and Quinta Vergara provide insights into the area's recent and ancient history, archaeology and natural history. Stroll along Avenida Peru and take in stunning ocean views.

This lovel beach has wonderful views from its rocky shore. The water is very cold but the beaches are beautiful. I saw a lot of sea lions (called Sea Wolfs in Chile) just hanging out there. Explore the lovely town of Renaca and its neighbor Con Con (where you'll find sand dunes to climb, and a lively shopping/eating area in the center of town). Worth a visit if you're staying along the coast!

There is a long boardwalk with beaches and workout areas throughout. very well maintained. the ocean is very cold and rough. they actually have signs warning not to swim. I did. if you're a good swimmer you can do it, but it is cold. Many little restaurants along the boardwalk and tons of vendors.
