Reñaca Beach

Playa de Reñaca

A long sandy beach north of Viña del Mar, backed by apartment blocks stepping up the hillside. It is the liveliest beach and nightlife spot in summer.

Reñaca lies about 7 km north of central Viña del Mar. Its sandy beach stretches about 1.5 km and is numbered by sector, with different crowds gathering in different stretches. Behind it, apartment blocks have been built in tiers up the hillside, following the terrain, a distinctive feature of Reñaca. In summer the beach offers beach volleyball, surfing and bars, and there are nightclubs at night. The sea is cold and the waves are big, so swimming is only advisable in areas with lifeguards on duty. The bus ride from central Viña del Mar takes about 20 minutes.
