7. Playa Renaca
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 2,306 reviews
The biggest and most popular beach in Vina del Mar.
Reviewed By rmwhitt - New York City, United States
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!
