By far our favorite beach in Central Chile. A fantastic, scenic walkway is mostly paved and makes available the breathtaking scenery up the beach, along the coast. We took a boat ride to see the penguins which was fun. Finally, we loved Chiringuito - the restaurant at the end of the beach. We spent a number of afternoons at this beach. If we were to return to the area, we would book a rental in the Zapallar area rather than Concon.

About a 1 hour drive North from Concon. A beautiful small beach town with many trees right up to the ocean. Many beautiful home surrounding cove. A couple restaurants overlooking beach. A few locals shops in town (not on beach). If you want a quiet beautiful beach location - worth a try. Checkout the penguins on your way up ... Isla Pinguino on North end of Cachagua beach.

One of the most beautiful places in the middle region of Chile. It’s a little place not so mainstream but really clean and a perfect one for everyone who want to see something different and beautiful. Must have to see. PS: it’s a kind of romantic here, good place for couple.

Nice place, except that we were evicted for being with our Pet, despite presenting a Certificate of emotional accompaniment. We were not listened to.
It seems to me that the measure is not very friendly, not to say, with little judgment, even more so when said data is presented, extended by a professional. I hope that for these cases there is a little more wisdom and judgment

The water is freezing cold. No surprise there. Parking (1,000 pesos an hour - maximum 5000 pesos) can be a challenge unless you arrive early. The beach is, otherwise, clean. The people are friendly. There are amenities, a couple of nice restrooms, and a couple of nice restaurants (one of which requires a bit of walking, but the food was great). Our overall experience was very positive.

I would have to say this is the Camden, Maine or Malibu, California of the Chilean coast. Quaint, high end homes and beautiful beach. A very relaxed and beautiful area one descends from the hills into. Definitely worth the trip, especially if you go to see the Humboldt Penguins while in the area. Very special memories for those who come from the Northern Hemisphere where there are no penguins!

Beautiful beach with great view and calm ocean, although chilly. It's a place you want to come back again and again, to relax and enjoy family time

It is a nice, small beach without services, one can take a walk, although the promenande is narrow in some part, especially close to a restaurant that invades almost all with tables. One can take a walk on the rocky promenade ("rambla"). Parking is only possible at the parking lot close to the beach. One-two hour should be enough.

The beach is very beautiful, reminds me of Southern California. We went in mid November, water was very cold. The couple of restaurants at the beach were expensive. The town is beautiful, fancy, safe but we didn’t see any people at all (on a Saturday)

En enero, ¿ es conveniente alojarse en Zapallar o en Quintero ?

Hola Buen Día , en Chile enero es temporada alta por lo tanto los precios son más altos.los balnearios son muy distintos Quintero es popular más económico, y zapallar es exclusivo y más costoso, por lo tanto depende que quieres hacer .te recomiendo maitencillo está cerca de ambos con valores un poco más accesibles y además tiene más variedad de oferta de alojamiento y restaurantes que zapallar.
