1 Best Sight in El Norte Chico, Chile

Playa La Piscina

Stunningly pretty, impossibly calm, and perfect for swimming, Playa La Piscina is in many ways the ideal town beach. Bordering Bahía Inglesa’s main drag, this beach—which translates as “the swimming pool”—enjoys perfect white sand and bright blue waters, all a short walk from most hotels and restaurants. Unsurprisingly, it gets very busy in the summer high season and suffers from quite a bit of littering. Amenities: food and drink; lifeguards (summer only); parking; toilets; water sports. Best for: swimming.
