Costanera is an interesting road which runs along the coast of Viña Del Mar, thus allowing for some great scenic views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and several interesting buildings on the other. Certainly would recommend traveling on this road to any tourist.

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.
