Beaches of Viña del Mar
Fun and relaxation by the sea
Viña del Mar features miles of beaches and seaside promenades. It is a coastline of contrasts: ranging from the lively Reñaca, with its nightlife and young atmosphere, to the family resort Las Salinas, which is ideal for tranquility and sports.
Beaches such as Caleta Abarca and El Sol stand out for their central location and summer ambiance, while the Wulff Castle, the Flower Clock (Reloj de Flores), and the Vergara Pier (Muelle Vergara) mark the coastal heritage. These landmarks offer exceptional views of the Pacific Ocean and are complemented by excellent seafood gastronomy.
